Police in the US city of Seattle said one suspect has been arrested and search was underway for another following a shooting Sunday at a crowded food festival that killed three people.
Assistant Chief Tyrone Davis said detectives don’t have any description on the outstanding suspect. Investigators believe the two were shooting at each other and there is no ongoing threat to the public.
The gunfire erupted around 6 p.m. in the waning hours of the Bite of Seattle, an annual festival that draws hundreds of food and retail vendors and performers.
Three people died and four others were wounded and are in stable condition at a hospital, officials said.
Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson said he was receiving briefings and State Patrol SWAT officers were deployed to assist local police.
“My prayers are with the families of the victims, and the responders as they work to keep people safe,” Ferguson said in a statement.
The annual festival started in 1982 and draws 350,000 attendees over “three days of food, drink, and community celebration,” according to its website.
