Two people were killed and three others were injured hours earlier in the small city of George, Washington state, about 150 miles from Seattle, on the evening of June 18. Police said the gunman fired "randomly into the crowd" at a campsite near a music festival, according to NBC.

The suspect was shot during a confrontation with law enforcement officers and was later arrested. A local police representative said the music festival continued until the early morning of June 19. Organizers later announced on Twitter that the June 19 show had been canceled, according to AP.

Another deadly shooting took place just after 1 a.m. on June 19 in St. Louis, Missouri. City police said one person was killed and nine others were injured in the incident.
