A shooting at a Seattle hookah lounge has killed three people and injured six others, police say.
Officers with the Seattle Police Department were called to the Rainer Hookah Lounge in South Seattle after getting multiple 911 calls about a shooting around 4:30 a.m. on Sunday. Three people were found with gunshot wounds at the business in the city's Mount Baker neighborhood, Seattle police said.

Five guns were recovered at the scene.
Seattle police have not released the names of the victims and have not released any information about a possible suspect or suspects as of Monday morning.

In a statement condemning the shooting, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell said Sunday that even as city police have recovered 869 guns in 2023 through July, "there are still more illegal guns in the wrong hands that could be used to incite another tragedy like this one."
“No place in this country is free from the awful epidemic of gun violence, which once again reverberates here in Seattle – leaving at least three dead, another six injured, and countless family and neighbors to pick up the pieces in our beloved South Seattle community," Harrell said in the statement. "My heart is with the victims and every person impacted."
