Summary
Seattle police said the 15-year-old arrested after the weekend shootout near the Space Needle was carrying a 9mm Polymer80 ghost gun with an extended magazine.
Three suspects were involved in the gunfire at the food festival, police said; one was among the three people killed, and at least four others were wounded, including a toddler.
Investigators recovered two additional weapons and 14 shell casings from two different calibres, pointing to multiple shooters in the exchange.
Ghost guns are privately made firearms without serial numbers and often bypass background checks, a category law enforcement says is increasingly turning up in violent U.S. crimes.
