“The city’s mayor says one person has been taken into custody.”
Assistant chief of Seattle Police, Tyrone Davis, has since confirmed that the taking pictures has brought on three fatalities.
Two victims died at the scene, while a third sufferer has since died from their accidents after being taken to Harborview Medical Center.
Among those hospitalised are a two-year-old boy, a 39-year-old girl, and a 23-year-old man, all of whom are in “stable condition”.
Seattle City Mayor Katie Wilson announced that one suspect, whose identification has not been disclosed, has been detained. Police later confirmed that they had launched a search for a second suspect.
Moments after the news was shared on BBC Breakfast, Jon introduced viewers another heartbreaking announcement.
He said that 4 people, including a child, have been killed in a car crash in Derby.
