Seattle police say a deadly shooting at a food festival near the Space Needle involved multiple suspects and a manhunt is underway. According to court documents cited by CBS News and South China Morning Post, police believe at least three people were involved. One suspect is in custody, another is being sought, and police believe one suspect died at the scene. CBS News reports that three people are killed, and at least a toddler is among those injured. Other outlets similarly describe three deaths and an expanding police search for additional suspects.
South China Morning Post and Mint report that police initially treated the incident as connected to conflicting suspects, including a 15-year-old who was arrested in the case. South China Morning Post adds that police say they believed there were at least three shooters rather than two, describing the 15-year-old, an acquaintance who died at the scene, and “at least” another person. The Independent and India Today also state that police pursue additional suspects after the gunfire erupted at the crowded event. Authorities continue to investigate what led to the shooting and the extent of any links between those involved.
