Bullets at Seattle festival shooting didn’t come from teen’s ghost gun, police say

Preliminary testing showed the bullets that killed two bystanders at Seattle’s Bite of Seattle crowd did not come from the 15-year-old suspect’s ghost gun; investigators say four weapons were fired, three guns were recovered but only two fired, suggesting other guns were involved. The teen surrendered as prosecutors charged him with first-degree assault with a firearm and unlawful possession and seek to move the case to adult court. The two bystanders identified were Carlos Israel Sanchez Villalba and Ashley Whitehead; a 19-year-old suspect, Junior Cee Niko Semo, was killed in the shootout, and police say the incident may be gang-related as they search for others.
