Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson has publicly addressed a shooting outside her event, which forced her to be rushed to safety and led to a lockdown at a community center. She initially declined to comment on whether the incident would change her approach to city policy. Instead, she mentioned the incident and continued to use a chainsaw in a ceremonial opening of a wood recycling facility. Neighbors have expressed support for expanding surveillance systems if it helps reduce gun violence in the area. The previous administration had planned to install cameras in high-crime areas but had to postpone this expansion pending a data and privacy audit.
