A Seattle Times reporter who was on the south side of Climate Pledge Arena heard several loud pops around 6 p.m. and then what sounded like very rapid gunfire.

Police and ambulances were responding to a shooting with “multiple victims” at Seattle Center, according to emergency dispatchers.

Kayla Carris, 22, was sitting outside the Armory at the Bite of Seattle when people began to scream and run to get inside the armory.

“Everyone was just throwing stuff and running,” Carris told the Seattle Times. “Like everyone.”

Harborview Medical Center tells the Seattle Times that all four patients who arrived had suffered gunshot wounds. A hospital spokesperson said the 56-year-old woman was in surgery and in critical condition, while all others were in satisfactory condition.

There’s no word on whether a suspect has been charged.
