A 15-year-old has been ordered held in juvenile detention in connection with a shooting at a crowded food festival in Seattle, according to prosecutors. The case stems from a gunfight that authorities say turned deadly, leaving three people dead and at least four others injured.
The court decision came Monday, with the teenager remaining in custody as the investigation continues. Prosecutors allege the teen played a role in the exchange of gunfire that erupted in the middle of the festival crowd.
The violence at the Seattle event has drawn attention because of the number of casualties and the fact that it happened at a public gathering packed with people. Investigators are continuing to piece together what led to the gunfight and how the shooting unfolded.
For now, the juvenile case is moving forward while authorities examine the circumstances surrounding one of Seattle’s most serious recent public shooting incidents. The focus remains on the victims, the injured, and the criminal allegations tied to the deadly festival gunfire.
