Seattle’s police chief has resigned amid national outcry over the deadly shooting at the Bite of Seattle food festival, where three died—including a toddler—and four were injured. With Chief Barnes out of town at a conference, Deputy Chief Andre Sayles, a veteran with 20+ years of experience, steps in as interim chief. Authorities are still searching for a second suspect, and public frustration boiled over after nearly five hours of silence following the initial alert. Despite backlash, major Black community groups defended Barnes, calling his removal harmful to racial progress and urging against making him a scapegoat. As Seattle gears up for the high-profile Seafair Weekend Festival, the leadership shake-up adds fresh tension to the city’s already fraught public safety debate.
