Seattle police say a 15-year-old arrested in connection with a shooting at a food festival near the Space Needle is armed with a “ghost gun.” Police report the suspect was taken into custody after a shootout over the weekend at the festival area. Multiple outlets say the firearm includes an extended magazine. PBS NewsHour reports that Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes tells a news conference the weapon is a 9 mm gun manufactured using Polymer80 parts. PBS notes that Polymer80 is a now-defunct company that previously made components used to assemble ghost guns.
The reports describe the case in similar terms: a juvenile suspect is linked to the festival shooting, and investigators say the weapon used was not a standard commercial firearm but one assembled from ghost-gun components. The outlets do not provide additional details about injuries, charges, or the broader investigation in the provided summaries.
