A mass shooting near a community event in Seattle Friday night left five people injured, two of whom were in critical condition, police said.
“We know that there’s dozens and dozens of rounds that were fired,” Seattle Police Department Chief Adrian Diaz told a news conference, adding that investigators were still working to establish whether “anybody was targeted.”
“We have five victims. Two are in critical condition. Three appear to be stable,” he said. He added, that they were taken to a nearby medical center and one victim was treated and discharged.
All of them were in their 20s, he said. A separate post on the department's website said four of the victims were male and one was female.
Diaz said the shooter “focused their efforts on an area where there was actually a community event going on,” in the south of city.
