Two people were killed and five wounded in a shooting at a food market in Seattle overnight, according to reports. The motive for the mass shooting is not yet known.
The shooting that left two people dead and five wounded in the United States occurred at a food market in Seattle, Washington, Israeli journalist Guy Elster reported Monday morning. This development clarifies the venue after earlier reports described the incident as a shooting at a food festival. The motive for the attack remains unknown, and an investigation is underway.
The story first emerged at 04:51 Jerusalem on Monday, when Israeli news outlet ynet reported an initial suspicion of a shooting in central Seattle with casualties. Minutes later, N12 journalist Asaf Rozentzweig reported that at least two people had been killed and five wounded in a mass shooting at a Seattle food festival, and shared unverified footage from the scene. The Zioneer's own bulletin at 06:44 Jerusalem carried the same casualty toll but did not specify the location. The new report from Elster now identifies the venue as a Seattle food market.
The Zioneer has previously reported on mass shootings at public gatherings in the United States, including a June 7 shooting at a festival in Toledo, Ohio, that left at least 12 injured. The Seattle incident adds to a pattern of gun violence at large public events.
Several questions remain open. The suspect has not been identified or apprehended. The footage posted by Rozentzweig has not been independently verified. The motive and the circumstances of the attack remain under investigation.
