TikTokker voiced concerns about Seattle Center food festival security day before mass shooting that left 3 dead
A Washington-based content creator appeared to be surprised by the apparent lack of security at the “Bite of Seattle” food festival – just one day before at least three people died in a mass shooting at the event.The TikTokker, known only as Leebo, claimed in a video that there was “no pat down” or bag checks before walking into the festival grounds Saturday.“There’s not any security walking around,” the influencer said as he made his way over to the food stalls.“You should not be able to just walk up into this festival – with all these people, with all these vendors with no security.”After news of Sunday’s shooting emerged, the TikTokker said in another video there were “no metal detectors” or security officers walking with dogs as he blasted festival organizers.The Post has approached Bite of Seattle for comment.Around 350,000 people attend the three-day festival, which has taken place in the Washington city since 1982. It has been hosted at the Seattle Center since 1986 and has twice been voted the best food festival in the US. Shots rang out at around 6 p.m.Sunday – hours before the festival wrapped up. Three people are confirmed to have died, while four were injured. Two people were pronounced dead at the scene, while another died after being rushed to a local hospital.A two-year-old boy was among those who were injured, officials revealed. A man, 23, and two adult women were also hospitalized.
One of the victims has since died.Gunshot injuries included the arm, abdomen, and leg. “I heard boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,” one witness working at the festival told KOMO. The witness said he helped lift children over a fence to safety. “I heard a couple pops, but I didn’t think it was anything big until I saw families, kids, everyone just running out of the fair,” another said. “Someone said ‘active shooter,’ and I ran.I jumped the fence.”Video shared on X shows scores of people sheltering inside the Space Nee...
