On a Sunday afternoon in Seattle, a summer food festival near the Space Needle — a gathering meant for families, food, and the ease of warm weather — became the site of a mass shooting that killed three people and wounded several others, including a toddler. Police believe the violence grew from a dispute between individuals rather than a random act, yet the distinction offers little comfort when the innocent are caught in its wake. As night fell over the city, a manhunt was underway, and investigators were left to reconstruct how an ordinary celebration became a crime scene.
