A mass shooting near the Space Needle landmark in Seattle killed three people on Sunday and wounded at least four others, including a toddler, according to the police.

Seattle Police said one suspect has been arrested and they are searching for another following the incident at a food festival in a popular tourist district of the northwestern US city.

Assistant Police Chief Tyrone Davis said shots were heard around 6pm (6am PKT) and “there were two people who we believe were shooting at each other.” Two weapons were recovered.

There is “no outstanding threat to the community,” he said.
