Credit: KCPQ NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles! A 15-year-old boy accused of opening fire during a deadly shootout at a crowded Seattle food festival claims he was shooting back in self-defense as authorities continue searching for other gunmen tied to the bloodshed. The teen allegedly pulled a handgun from a pouch and fired after two unidentified suspects began shooting toward him and his friend at the Bite of Seattle on July 26, his attorney said in court documents obtained by KOMO News. The gunfire sent festivalgoers scrambling outside the Seattle Center Armory near the Space Needle. Three people were killed, and four others were wounded, including a 2-year-old boy, Fox News Digital previously reported. Police have described the bloodshed as a gang-related shootout that left innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire. The dead included 19-year-old Niko-Semo, a 44-year-old man and a 56-year-old woman. THIRD SUSPECT EMERGES IN DEADLY SEATTLE MASS SHOOTING, ONE ALLEGED GUNMAN FOUND DEAD Police officers keep watch after a mass shooting at the Bite of Seattle food festival on July 26. (Getty Images) More than a month later, the 15-year-old remains the only person charged in connection with the shooting. The King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office (KCPAO) told Fox News Digital that police have not brought prosecutors any cases involving anyone else in the shooting. " Seattle Police are handling the investigation," the office said. "No other cases from the Bite of Seattle shooting other than the charged case involving the 15-year-old have been referred by police investigators to the KCPAO." Police have, however, identified two potential persons of interest after combing through roughly 450 hours of video, Interim Seattle Police Chief Andre Sayles told FOX 13 Seattle. Sayles cautioned that police have not determined whether the two people opened fire. 3 DEAD, INCLUDING SUSPECTED GUNMAN, AND 3 OFFICERS INJURED IN MINNEAPOLIS SHOOTING Police officers at the scene of a mass shooting in Seattle on July 26. (KCPQ) "I can say that we are looking at two potential persons of interest in this incident, not saying that they are the shooters or anything of that nature, but people that we have identified that we need to have a conversation with," Sayles said. No additional arrests have been announced. Sayles said detectives are moving closer to interviews and could make arrests if the evidence supports them. The teen, whose name has not been released because he is charged as a juvenile, insists he only opened fire after someone began shooting at him. His public defender, Hong Tran, said several eyewitnesses backed up that version of events. "Law enforcement has interviewed several eyewitnesses to the shooting who confirmed that [the teen] reached for a firearm after the shooting started," Tran wrote in an Aug. 28 memorandum, according to KOMO News. Tran said the boy had gone to the festival to enjoy the food and was standing near Niko-Semo when the first shots rang out. CHILLING NEW VIDEO SHOWS ARMED CITIZENS, OFF-DUTY TROOPER CONFRONT IN-N-OUT GUNMAN DURING DEADLY RAMPAGE Video "After hearing shots fired, witnesses observed [the teen] pull a firearm from a pouch and shoot in the direction of the shots," Tran wrote. Officers working the festival raced toward the gunfire and arrested the teen at the scene. Witness video obtained by KOMO News appears to show police taking him into custody. "I was getting shot at," the teen told officers, according to the defense filing. He said he fired back in self-defense. Prosecutors say the teen's actions were anything but defensive, accusing him of recklessly firing into an area packed with adults and children. "There is no greater threat to the community than a person indiscriminately firing into a crowd of adults and children who only wanted to attend and enjoy Bite of Seattle," Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Logan Bryant wrote in a filing opposing the teen's release, according to KOMO News. The teen faces first-degree assault with a deadly weapon and second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm by a person under 18, King County Superior Court records show. Prosecutors also filed a firearm sentencing enhancement with the assault charge. His shots were not responsible for any of the three deaths, according to court records cited by KOMO News. SEATTLE POLICE CHIEF SNAPS OVER CHICAGO HOME QUESTIONS, ABSENCE FROM CITY AFTER MASS SHOOTING Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes and Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson attend a vigil for victims on July 27, after a shooting at Seattle Center during the Bite of Seattle food festival. (Lindsey Wasson/AP Photo) Prosecutors said the boy was carrying a Polymer80 "ghost gun" fitted with an extended magazine capable of holding more than 30 rounds. The privately assembled weapon did not have a standard serial number and allegedly carried a vanity plate reading "1 SHOT 1 KILL." Investigators recovered at least four guns at the scene, including weapons allegedly tied to the teen and Niko-Semo, KOMO News reported. Police have been testing the firearms as they work to determine who else was involved in the deadly exchange. The teen's attorney asked a judge to release him to electronic monitoring at his father's home. The judge rejected the request last week and ordered him to remain in custody.

Days later, Wilson accepted Barnes' resignation after he was asked to step down during a meeting with the mayor, five sources told FOX 13 Seattle. Barnes later defended his response and said he followed department protocol, KOMO News reported. The teen is due back in juvenile court for a status hearing in October. Prosecutors will ask a judge in November to move the case to adult court.
