Seattle mass shooting: TikToker raised security questions day before

Newsweek · back to the audit

A content creator had raised concerns about security measures at a popular food festival in Seattle, a day before a shooting there left three people dead and four others wounded. In a video posted on TikTok on Saturday, a content creator with the handle leebotracks appeared to be filming himself as he walked around the festival. In the clip, he claimed attendees were able to enter the festival with no security, no pat down, no search to the bag. He later urged the organizers to introduce security measures to keep people safe. The creator addressed the shooting in a video posted late on Sunday night. I tried to let everybody know how security was being handled, he said. Nobody can say I didn't try to let people know. People really were bashing me in my comment sections on the previous videos.
