There were at least three suspects involved in a shootout at a crowded food festival near Seattle’s Space Needle over the weekend, one of them was among those killed in the incident, police said Monday
In a document filed in juvenile court in Seattle, Washington, where a 15-year-old arrested in the case waived his initial appearance on Monday, police said they believe there were at least three shooters, rather than two: the 15-year-old, an acquaintance who died at the scene and “at least one other unknown suspect.”
Nicole Powell, the Seattle Police Department's assistant chief of investigations, said in a press briefing on Monday afternoon that investigators believe the shooting may have been gang-related, with two groups firing at each other. The deceased shooter was 19.
