Three killed, four wounded in Seattle food festival shooting, police say
July 26 (Reuters) - Three people were killed and four others, including a toddler, were wounded on Sunday in a shooting at a downtown Seattle food festival, police said, adding that a suspect had been taken into custody. A second suspect was also believed to be involved, and officers were searching for that person, Seattle Police Department Assistant Chief Tyrone Davis said in a media briefing late on Sunday. Davis said the police believed two people were shooting at each other. The incident took place at the Bite of Seattle food festival at Seattle Center. Seattle police's Davis said the suspect in custody was a young person, but declined to disclose more details, and also said they did not have a description for the suspect at large. We have far too much gun violence in this city and in this country, and we're coming off of a week in Seattle where we've had three major incidents of gun violence in just a few days.
