Two people were killed and three others injured after police said a shooter began firing “randomly" into a crowd at a Washington state campground that was hosting people attending a nearby music festival on Saturday night, police said.
After the initial shots were fired, the suspect started moving through the campground and “continued to shoot randomly into the crowd" until he was eventually confronted by police and taken into custody, Foreman said. A public alert had advised people that there was an active shooter in the area and to “run, hide or fight," but Foreman said there was no effort to evacuate the festival. The festival continued following the shooting and did not end until early Sunday morning, Foreman said.
