1 dead, 6 injured after shooting in Seattle suburb

Renton, Wash. — A 32-year-old Tacoma man was confirmed dead and six others were treated for gunshot wounds after multiple shots were fired in the Seattle suburb of Renton, Washington, police said.

The Renton Police Department tweeted that officers were called before 1 a.m. Saturday and in addition to the victims, had to "deal with a large agitated crowd."

Police said "this is not an active shooter situation" in the suburb that's about 15 minutes from Seattle.

An initial investigation indicates a dispute outside of a large gathering that led to the gunfire possibly by more than one suspect, police said. They have not been able to determine what the argument was about and no arrests have been made.

The department said multiple agencies were called to assist due to the large crowd. The investigation is ongoing.
