The event took place near the conclusion of the weekend, coinciding with the traditional Bite of Seattle festival, an annual gathering that draws hundreds of thousands of visitors. According to reports from the fire department, the incident resulted in two fatalities at the scene.
Among those injured were several individuals. Notably, a 56-year-old woman sustained more serious injuries. Additionally, a 2-year-old boy was treated and reported to be in stable condition.
Other injured parties included a 39-year-old woman, a 23-year-old man, and a 40-year-old woman who sustained minor injuries but declined transport to the hospital. Four of the injured individuals were transported to the Harborview Medical Center. Due to security concerns following the shooting, the hospital implemented a partial closure of its facilities.
