Violence broke out in a campground near the Gorge amphitheatre in Washington state on Saturday night (U.S. Pacific Time), resulting in up to two fatalities and three other injuries.
An EDM music festival called Beyond Wonderland was taking place inside the stadium when the shootings took place. The three people reported hurt included a suspect who was captured.
At the time this article was being written, the names of individuals who were killed or hurt had not yet been made public. The official claimed that before being captured, the suspect continued to "fire randomly into the crowd" after law police arrived on the scene.
Both the shooter's injuries and the two survivors' conditions were kept a secret.
The distance between the amphitheater's entrance and the campground is 20–30 minutes.
Numerous artists will be performing at the two-day EDM Music festival Beyond Wonderland. Since there aren't many motels within 45 minutes of the campground, many of the 27,000 people anticipated there each day stay there.
Marshmello, Afrojack, Dillion Francis, Joyryde, Subtronics, Hyperfunk, DJ Alex Bosi, Audien, Zomboy, Nitti, Pauline Herr, Remk, Timmy Trumpet, and Slander are among the artists scheduled to perform at Beyond Wonderland throughout the course of the two days. No immediate information was available regarding whether the second day of performances will be impacted.
