Court Docs: At Least 3 Shooters at Seattle Food Festival
Police now say there were at least three suspects involved in a food festival shooting near Seattle's Space Needle over the weekend, and that one of them was among those killed in the violence. In a document filed in juvenile court in Seattle, where a 15-year-old arrested in the case was making an initial appearance Monday, police said they believe there were at least three shooters: the 15-year-old; an acquaintance who died at the scene; and at least one other unknown suspect. Based on the evidence at the scene, investigators believe the 15-year-old and one of the deceased engaged in a gunfight with at least one other unknown suspect, the document said. The teen was being held in juvenile detention for investigation of firearms violations and first-degree assault. Two people died at the scene and a third died at a hospital. They were described as two men, ages 19 and 44, and a woman, 56. The four wounded included a 2-year-old boy, who was in satisfactory condition Monday. The others two men, ages 23 and 27, and a woman, 39 were discharged, a hospital spokesperson said.
