Seattle Police Chief Resigns Amid Festival Tragedy | Roanoke News
Description
Seattle’s police chief has resigned amid mounting pressure over the deadly shooting at a food festival that killed three—including a suspect—and wounded four, including a toddler. The chief was out of town during the incident, and police delayed critical updates for nearly five hours, sparking outrage. While Black community groups defended him, praising his work on community trust and gun violence reduction, the city has named Deputy Chief Andre Sayles, a 20-year veteran, as interim chief. With another major festival looming, Seattle faces uncertainty as it grapples with public safety and leadership in the spotlight.
