Police in Seattle say a deadly shootout at a crowded food festival near the Space Needle involved at least three suspects, raising new questions about how the violence unfolded in a busy public area over the weekend. Authorities said three people were killed, and one of the suspects was among the dead.
Investigators said Monday that they believe multiple people took part in the exchange of gunfire. According to police, the shooting may have been gang-related, though officials were still working to piece together the circumstances and identify everyone involved.
The violence happened near one of Seattle’s best-known landmarks, turning what should have been a large community gathering into a major crime scene. With a food festival underway and crowds in the area, the incident has drawn significant attention as police continue reviewing evidence and following leads.
So far, officials have not released all of the details about the suspects or what triggered the shootout. The investigation remains active as police work to determine each person’s role and whether additional arrests or charges could follow.
