Three people were killed and four others, including a 2-year-old child, were wounded when police say two suspected shooters exchanged fire near the Bite of Seattle food festival around 6 in the evening Sunday; AP reported that the wounded were stable and that authorities found no continuing threat to the public. [1]

One suspect surrendered to police, while the other remained unidentified and at large in the cutoff-safe Monday account, leaving custody, charges and guilt at distinctly different stages rather than turning one arrest into a solved case. [1]

The familiar mass-shooting label preserves the casualty scale but can flatten the reported confrontation between two suspects, just as a later gang characterization can replace evidence with a motive before that update belongs in this edition.

AP's account establishes three deaths, four stable wounded people and one surrender; it does not establish why the shooting began, who fired the fatal rounds, what weapons were recovered or whether festival security failed. [1]

With exact X searches blocked and no verified status recovered, the accountable record is narrower than either online certainty or a dramatic label: seven people were shot, one suspected participant surrendered, another remained unidentified, and the investigation had not yet produced its charges, motive or independent security findings.
