Episode Details

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is apologizing for the city’s slow and confusing response to the mass shooting at the Bite of Seattle festival, admitting the first press conference didn’t happen until 11 PM—five hours after the attack began. She revealed she didn’t realize how little info had reached the public and would have pushed for an immediate briefing if she had. Confusion mounted as her office initially reported two suspects detained, later corrected to one, and then delayed the briefing to accommodate “dignitaries.” The governor, though in contact by 7:41 PM and willing to come to the scene, was turned away by city officials citing an active crime scene. Wilson acknowledged public anger over the delays and promised new protocols to prevent future missteps.
