People run from a shooting scene Sunday at Seattle Center, which was hosting a Bite of Seattle food festival, in this still image obtained from a social media video
Three people were killed and four others, including a toddler, were wounded on Sunday in a shooting at a downtown Seattle food festival, police said, adding that a suspect had been taken into custody
A second suspect was also believed to be involved, and officers were searching for that person, Seattle Police Department Assistant Chief Tyrone Davis said in a media briefing late Sunday
Davis said the police believed two people were shooting at each other. The incident took place at the Bite of Seattle food festival at Seattle Center
“What happened here today at the Seattle Center was an unbelievable tragedy, and a horrific act of violence,” Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson said during the joint media briefing with the other officials
“We have far too much gun violence in this city and in this country, and we’re coming off of a week in Seattle where we’ve had three major incidents of gun violence in just a few days,” she added
Officials did not disclose the motive of the shooting

Seattle police’s Davis said the suspect in custody was a “young person,” but declined to disclose more details, and added that they did not have a description for the suspect at large
Local media had earlier reported that there were two deaths and five injuries
Davis said one person in hospital died of their injuries, bringing the toll to three. He added that the four others in hospital were now in stable condition
“There were two people who we believe were shooting at each other,” Davis said. Asked whether the gang unit had been called in, he said several detectives, including homicide and gun violence reduction units, were on scene
“Right now, we believe that we have no outstanding threat to the community,” Davis said
“We do have one suspect that is being interviewed.”
Davis said the police recovered two guns at the scene, but stressed that the investigation was still ongoing
Witnesses had told the Seattle Times that they heard several shots around 6 p.m. local time. Police said officers “responded and addressed one of the shooters” after they heard gunshots in the area
