Police say bullets that killed 2 at Seattle festival were not fired from arrested teen's gun

Seattle police announced that the bullets responsible for the deaths of two bystanders during a recent shootout at the Bite of Seattle food festival did not originate from the firearm of a 15-year-old suspect arrested at the scene. The teen has been charged with first-degree assault and unlawful handgun possession.

The bullets that killed two bystanders during a shootout at a crowded Seattle food festival last weekend do not appear to have come from the gun that a 15-year-old arrested at the scene was firing.

While the arrested teenager was seen firing an untraceable "ghost gun" into the crowd, preliminary analysis of recovered bullets indicates they do not match his weapon. Court documents reveal that shell casings found at the scene suggest at least four firearms were discharged during the violent incident. Police are actively working to identify at least one other person involved in the gun battle.

Shell casings found at the scene of Sunday's shooting indicate four weapons were fired during the shootout.

The shooting, which occurred during the final hours of the festival, resulted in three deaths, including a 19-year-old suspect, and injured at least four others, including a toddler. Authorities suspect the violence is linked to gang activity. Investigators are reviewing surveillance footage and interviewing witnesses to identify all parties involved.

Love you bro.

In a separate development, prosecutors are seeking to move the 15-year-old's case to adult court, a decision that could lead to a significantly longer prison sentence if convicted. The outcome of this legal process remains pending.

Authorities say they believe the violence was gang-related, and they are reviewing any available surveillance video and interviewing victims and witnesses in an effort to identify others who may have been involved.
