A man died in a shooting at an art gathering in Seattle’s Pioneer Square neighborhood late Thursday, according to police.

Taking place at the rooftop of a building that’s part of the RailSpur development, the gathering was meant to kick off several days of art exhibits and celebrations across the city in conjunction with the Seattle Art Fair happening at the nearby Lumen Field Event Center.

Shortly before 9:30 p.m. Thursday, officers responded to a report of shots fired on the rooftop of the building at 419 Occidental Ave. S., according to police. They found a 30-year-old man who had been shot, the Seattle Police Department said in an online blotter post.

Despite lifesaving measures from police and fire, the man died, police said.

Police found a second man on the street with a non-life-threatening injury from a tile shattered during the shooting.

Police said it was not clear what led to the shooting and they have not identified any suspects.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
