A mass shooting occurred at the Bite of Seattle festival near the Space Needle in Seattle, killing three people and leaving several others wounded, including a toddler. Authorities say the gunfire involved two individuals who exchanged shots, with one suspect arrested and a second being sought, and there is no ongoing threat to the public. The incident prompted a large police and emergency response, with SWAT and other units deployed as investigators, including Harborview Medical Center, treated several victims. The Bite of Seattle draws tens to hundreds of thousands of visitors, and the scene at Seattle Center was chaotic as attendees fled and authorities secured the area. Investigations are ongoing, with officials reviewing what happened and working to identify a motive and the identities of the victims.
