A mass shooting occurred Sunday evening at the Bite of Seattle food festival, located at the Seattle Center in Seattle, Washington, leaving three people dead and four others injured. The incident took place around 6 p.m. just hours before the conclusion of the three-day event, which draws approximately 350,000 attendees. Among the victims are a two-year-old boy and two adult women, all of whom were hospitalized with gunshot wounds to the arm, abdomen, and leg. One of the adult victims has since died, bringing the total fatality count to three. Witnesses described scenes of chaos as gunfire erupted, prompting crowds to flee and shelter in nearby structures, including the Space Needle’s gift shop. One witness recounted hearing multiple loud booms and helping lift children over a fence to safety, while another vendor captured video of the panic as bullets rang out. In the aftermath of the shooting, law enforcement has identified two individuals of interest. Tyrone Davis, assistant chief of the Seattle Police Department, confirmed that one suspect has been taken into custody. However, a second suspect remains at large. Davis described the individual at large as a young person but declined to specify their age. Police are urgently appealing for witnesses to come forward, noting that many have not yet contacted authorities. The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to identify the suspect currently evading capture and to understand the circumstances surrounding the violence at the popular culinary event.
