Two others are stable and one of the shooting victims was treated at the scene and released. All of the victims were in their 20s.
Diaz said that “dozens and dozens” of shots were fired during the incident that took place during the community outreach event that gives out food, clothes and toys.
Responding to the shooting Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell said that there are “too many guns in the wrong places and in the wrong hands.”
