POLICY WIRE — Seattle, USA — Seattle police have confirmed that at least three individuals were involved in a shootout during a crowded food festival near Seattle’s Space Needle over the weekend. One of the suspects was killed in the incident.

In a document filed in juvenile court, where a 15-year-old suspect didn’t appear for a scheduled initial appearance on Monday, authorities stated their belief that there were at least three shooters. These include the 15-year-old, an acquaintance who died at the scene, — and at least one other individual.

The 15-year-old suspect, whose identity remains undisclosed due to juvenile privacy laws, was arrested in connection with the shooting. The juvenile court proceeding was postponed due to the suspect’s absence.

Authorities are continuing their investigation to identify and apprehend any remaining suspects and to determine the full scope of the incident. Further details regarding the other individuals involved are currently undisclosed.
