Multiple people were shot at the Seattle Center on Sunday evening, police say.
“Police are investigating a shooting. Multiple shooting victims. Shots fired at the Seattle Center. More information to come. Please avoid the area,” the Seattle Police Department said on X.
The Seattle Center is where the city’s iconic Space Needle is located and had been holding a food festival over the weekend, according to reports.
Estan Wakonabo, 25, told The Seattle Times he was at Bite of Seattle with his girlfriend when he heard gunshots.
“It was just pure chaos,” he said.
Paul Skinner, 47, described hearing a series of pops.
“I just heard what sounded like what were some pretty loud fireworks at first,” he said. “Then, the energy changed. Mobs of people started flooding back down. I just told our staff to get down.”
Police have not yet released any details on the number of victims or the extent of their injuries.
Harborview Medical Center said it would be receiving victims injured in the shooting, according to KOMO.
