Seattle Fire Department spokesperson Grace Nu\u00f1ez said that its first responders attempted lifesaving efforts for two patients but were unsuccessful.
The others were described as a 2-year-old boy; three women, ages 39, 40 and 56; and a 23-year-old man. The 56-year-old woman was said to be in serious condition and the 40-year-old woman had minor injuries and declined to be transported to the hospital. The rest of the patients were stabilized at University of Washington\u2019s Harborview Medical Center, the region\u2019s highest-level trauma center.
Nu\u00f1ez said the patients\u2019 ages were approximate.
Speaking on X, the Seattle Police Department asked members of the public to stay away as detectives and officers try to determine what happened.
The Bite of Seattle food festival was wrapping up its annual event Sunday, the final of its three days. It wasn\u2019t clear whether the event was involved in the shooting. It did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Esten Wakonabo was waiting in line with his girlfriend for a photo booth when people around them started running furiously, he told NBC affiliate KING TV of Seattle.
\u201cIt was a stampede,\u201d he said.
Not long afterward, Wakonabo said, he noticed people on the ground, some with obvious gunshot wounds.
\u201cThere\u2019s bodies everywhere,\u201d he said of those on the ground who appeared to be injured. \u201cI mean, I counted eight.\u201d
Paul Skinner was helping to operate a Bite of Seattle booth when chaos erupted, he said.
\u201cWe just heard what at first sounded like firecrackers, but it\u2019s just a little too crowded for that kind of thing,\u201d he told KING. \u201cSo then, when the crowd started moving quickly in herds, you knew it was something was happening.\u201d
He added, \u201cWe all got down and took cover.\u201d
The civic center complex that grew into the Seattle Center included core structures erected for the 1962 Seattle World\u2019s Fair, including the Coliseum, the Seattle Center Monorail and the Space Needle.
