Two people were killed and five others were wounded in a shooting Sunday evening during a food festival at an events complex near the Space Needle in Seattle, a city fire department spokesperson said.
Police were investigating the shooting and urged people to avoid the area just northwest of downtown.
The gunfire erupted around 6pm at the Seattle Centre during the Bite of Seattle festival.
Harborview Medical Centre spokesperson Susan Gregg said the hospital admitted four victims including a toddler, a 23-year-old man and two adult women.
One patient was in critical condition, she said.
The Seattle Centre was hosting the Bite of Seattle food festival over the weekend. A large number of police and emergency crews responded around 6pm and began evacuating the area.
