Shon Barnes

Shon Barnes is the Chief of the Seattle Police Department. He is currently newsworthy due to his public statements regarding a mass shooting that occurred at a food festival over the weekend. At a televised news conference, Barnes reported that three people were killed, including one of the suspects, and at least five others were wounded. He also stated that the shooting appeared to involve at least three suspects. Furthermore, Barnes confirmed that law enforcement recovered a modified machine gun and a "ghost gun" from the scene.
