The 15-year-old suspect in Seattle shooting was armed with an illegal ghost gun, police said, following his arrest after a chaotic gang-related shootout that killed three people and injured four others, including a two-year-old toddler, during the final hours of the Bite of Seattle on Sunday, when thousands had gathered for the final day of the annual three-day festival.
While investigators from the Seattle Police Department homicide unit continue scouring private surveillance networks for at least one additional outstanding suspect, the swift apprehension of the gunman has spared the community from further immediate danger while triggering intense national scrutiny over youth gun violence and ghost gun proliferation.
