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.
