Seattle police said three people were killed and four others were injured after gunfire broke out during the Bite of Seattle food festival near the Space Needle on July 26.\n\nA juvenile arrested in the case appeared in court on July 27. Court documents reviewed by The Associated Press said investigators believe at least three shooters were involved, including the arrested juvenile, a person who died at the scene and at least one unidentified suspect. Those assertions remain allegations under investigation, and the arrested person has not been proved guilty.\n\nPolice initially said officers working at the festival heard the shots and responded quickly. Investigators asked witnesses and people with recordings to provide information as they worked to reconstruct the sequence of events. Authorities had not published a final account of who fired which shots or a complete motive.\n\nBecause a minor is involved, Genuine Update is withholding identifying details. The confirmed public-safety facts should be kept separate from unverified descriptions and speculation circulating online.\n\nSource: Seattle Police Department — https://spdblotter.seattle.gov/2026/07/27/gun-violence-at-seattle-center-takes-three-lives/\n\nSource: Associated Press — https://apnews.com/article/90548c65364e742a97fb7cb0fea31209
