Fox News reported:
A 15-year-old was taken into custody as police continue to search for a second suspect after three people were killed, and four others were wounded Sunday in a mass shooting at the Seattle Center, according to Mayor Katie Wilson and police.
“We believe this teenager opened fire in the crowd, but details are still under investigation,” Wilson said.
No homicide charges have been filed against the teen, who was booked into juvenile detention on suspicion of firearms violations and first-degree assault, Wilson said. The juvenile was expected to make an initial court appearance Monday.
Seattle Police Department Chief Shon Barnes said investigators believe two individuals exchanged gunfire outside the Seattle Center Armory, leaving multiple bystanders caught in the crossfire.
Police believe the shooting stemmed from a conflict between two small groups or gangs.
An active manhunt remains underway for the second suspected shooter. However, police acknowledged it is technically possible that one of the fatally shot victims was the second gunman, though that has not been confirmed.

“Impacted families are living through the worst moment of their lives, and an entire community is trying to understand how a gathering built around culture, connection, and joy ended in gunfire,” Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson said in a statement.
“No one should have to weigh the risk of being shot before attending an event, gathering with friends, or experiencing their city,” Wilson said.
