A video of the gathering posted to social media shows a series of cars doing donuts in the East Pike Street and Broadway intersection.
The Seattle Police Department said they tried to break up the crowd, but the large group refused. Police instead had to stay nearby, watch, and respond if something happened.
Right before the shooting, the music festival Capitol Hill Block Party was happening in the same area. We reached out to organizers who sent us this statement: Our festival organizers prioritize the safety and security of all attendees, staff and artists, and take extensive measures in collaboration with local law enforcement and security teams to ensure a secure and peaceful environment throughout the event. The festival site itself remains unaffected, and all performances and activities will continue as scheduled without interruption.
