Three people were killed and another six injured after shoots were fired in a Hookah Lounge in gun-controlled Seattle, Washington, Sunday around 4:30 a.m.
KIRO 7 reported that police found five firearms at the scene.
Details are scant, but a 22-year-old man and a 32-year-old man are among the deceased.
ABC News noted that one of the six injured persons is in critical condition.
Mike Bloomberg-affiliated Everytown for Gun Safety ranks Washington as the No. 10 state in the country for gun control strength.
Washington has all the gun controls Democrats are currently pushing in the U.S. House and Senate. Those controls include universal background checks, a red flag law, an “assault weapons” ban, a “high-capacity” magazine ban, regulations on firearms Democrats describe as “ghost guns,” a gun storage law, and numerous other controls.
