Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson found herself on defense Monday after reporters pressed city officials over why the public waited hours for clear answers following a deadly mass shooting at Seattle Center. Seattle police posted one update about thirty minutes after the shooting, confirming that officers were investigating. Bob Ferguson and Rep. Pramila Jayapal later appeared at the briefing alongside Wilson and Seattle Police Assistant Chief for Special Operations Tyrone Davis. For Seattle residents, the issue was never just whether officials eventually produced a corrected timeline. But after bullets flew at a crowded food festival and innocent people were killed, Seattle residents were not asking for polished talking points.
