The incident last Sunday that enveloped a Seattle food festival in gunfire, leaving three people dead, has been investigated as involving street gangs.
Police stated that at least three members of two rival gangs opened fire at each other.
Two teenagers—a 15-year-old suspect apprehended at the scene and a 19-year-old male who died—have been identified as members of the same gang, while other gang members remain at large.

However, until five hours after the incident occurred, police did not disclose the fact that other suspects were still at large.
They also showed confusion, initially announcing that two suspects had been arrested before correcting it to one.

As the 44-year-old festival turned into a nightmare, the local community fell into deep shock, and streams of people continued to pay tribute to the two innocent victims.
