Multiple people are reported injured after a shooting at Seattle Center on Sunday evening, according to police and multiple news outlets. Reports describe the incident occurring at or near the Seattle Center during an event period, including a major food festival, and some sources refer to the Space Needle area nearby. Police say officers respond to the scene and are investigating what happened. Authorities advise the public to avoid the area as the response and investigation continue, and the Seattle Center area is described as being shut down or locked down following the shooting.
Several outlets cite police characterizations that the incident left “multiple victims” or multiple injured people, but the number of casualties beyond “multiple” varies across reports. One outlet reports that at least two people are killed and five are injured, while other sources focus on multiple victims being injured and do not provide the same casualty breakdown. As of these reports, no consistent information is provided about suspects being taken into custody.
