TL;DR Summary

Internal texts from Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson’s office reveal a scramble over whether the mayor should publicly address the Bite of Seattle mass shooting, balancing optics with safety as a suspect remained on-site; aides corrected an initial report of two suspects in custody to one, and a staffer quipped that 'S*** happens' as information was updated, with the mayor speaking late at night as three people died and four were wounded (including a 2-year-old); a 15-year-old has been charged, and investigators say they’re closing in on others of interest.
