Police recover ghost gun after deadly Seattle festival shooting, seek third suspect
There are no new alerts at this time A loaded ghost gun was recovered at the scene of a deadly Seattle shooting over the weekend, police said Tuesday as they continue to search for a possible third suspect. The weapon was found on a 15-year-old who is suspected of being one of the shooters at the Bite of Seattle food festival Sunday, where three people were killed and four were injured. The teen was taken into custody and remains in juvenile detention, according to police. “Ghost guns” are firearms that can be assembled at home from parts purchased online. Those parts are often obtained without background checks and do not have serial numbers, which would make the gun traceable.
