Mayor Fires Police Chief After Festival Shooting | Roanoke News
Description
Seattle’s mayor defends firing the city’s police chief amid a deadly festival shooting that left three dead and four injured, including a toddler — despite backlash from community leaders and council members. The former chief, Seattle’s second Black police chief and praised for reducing downtown crime, is replaced as the mayor cites a deeper understanding of the department’s operations following the tragedy. The interim chief vows to boost police presence at public events this summer and says investigators are closing in on more suspects in the chaotic shootout that ended a popular food festival.
