https://p.dw.com/p/5Hnpt Advertisement At least three people were killed and four others wounded, including a child, in a shooting during a food festival near the Space Needle in Seattle in the US state of Washington on Sunday evening, according to a city fire department spokesperson.
Two people died at the scene and a fourth, one of five who were taken for medical treatment, died later in the hospital.
The individual was one of five were transported to Harborview Medical Center, including a 56-year-old woman in serious condition.
A two-year-old boy, a 23-year-old man, and a 39-year-old woman are in stable condition. A 40-year-old woman sustained minor injuries.
According to hospital spokesperson Susan Gregg, the victims sustained injuries to their arms, abdomens, or legs.
Meanwhile, Seattle police reported "multiple shooting victims" near the Space Needle observation tower.
Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson announced that one suspect has been taken into custody following an incident. Wilson said that she wanted to "thank the Seattle police officers who responded to the scene."
The suspect in custody was 15 years old and was therefore placed in juvenile detention for investigation of firearms violations and first-degree assault.
Investigators believe the two suspects exchanged gunfire. One remained at large, but Assistant Seattle Police Chief Tyrone Davis said at a news conference on Sunday night that there was no continuing threat to the public.
Police did not yet have a description of the outstanding suspect, Davis said. Authorities said they could not rule out that the second suspect was among those killed.
But later on Monday, the Associated Press cited court documents as saying there were at least three shooters, including one who died at the scene.
The shooting occurred around 6 p.m. local time (0100 GMT on Monday) during the annual Bite of Seattle festival, which attracts hundreds of food vendors, stalls, and performers.
According to its website, the annual festival, which started in 1982, draws 350,000 attendees over "three days of food, drink, and community celebration.”
