SEATTLE (AP) — There were at least three suspects involved in a shootout at a crowded food festival near Seattle’s Space Needle over the weekend, police said Monday. The annual three-day festival draws hundreds of food and retail vendors and performers to Seattle Center, a sprawling park in the shadow of the Space Needle. “They just came to enjoy a food festival with people, with friends, with new friends, and they lost their lives in just what sounds like meaningless bloodshed,” he said. “I was like, ‘OK, we need to help these people,’” said Perez, a construction worker who had attended the food festival that morning. The festival started in 1982 and draws 350,000 attendees, according to its website.
