SEATTLE: A shooting near the Space Needle landmark in Seattle killed three people on Sunday and wounded at least four others including a toddler, officials said.
Seattle Police said one suspect was arrested and they were 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 (0100 GMT) 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.
Seattle Police said two people died at the scene at the Seattle Center and a third died in hospital. Washington Governor Bob Ferguson said State Patrol SWAT officers had been deployed to assist local police.
