Multiple people were injured Sunday night in a mass shooting at Seattle Center, a popular venue that was hosting the Bite of Seattle food festival. Police have since locked down the surrounding area as an investigation is underway.
The incident occurred around 6 p.m. when rapid gunfire was heard at the Seattle Center. Witnesses described hearing multiple shots followed by shouting.
Early reports indicate at least six victims, potentially including a child, were injured during the event. One witness, Kayla Carris, 22, was near the Armory when the shooting began and described a chaotic scene as people fled for safety.
Videos shared online appeared to show authorities escorting a man in handcuffs. The Seattle Center Monorail has been shut down for the remainder of the night, and police are evacuating the area around the fountain.
Officials have stated that the shooter is still at large, though the number of individuals wounded and the circumstances of the shooting remain unclear.
