Ghost Gun Used in Seattle Festival Shooting | Honolulu News

A deadly shooting at Seattle’s Bite of Seattle festival has left three dead, including a 19-year-old gunman, and at least four injured — including a two-year-old boy. Authorities suspect gang involvement and are investigating surveillance and witness accounts, believing at least three shooters were present. A ghost gun — untraceable, privately made, and purchased without background checks — was recovered, along with two other firearms, one capable of automatic fire. A 15-year-old was arrested with the ghost gun and is in juvenile detention. Police are also searching for an eighth person who allegedly arrived at a hospital with a gunshot wound but left before being interviewed. The case highlights the rising threat of ghost guns, which make prosecution and accountability harder — especially as the company that made the gun’s parts, Polymer80, has since shut down. Families are grieving, including those of a 44-year-old father and a newcomer to the area. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
