At least two people were killed and three were injured, including the shooter in the mass shooting, on Saturday night, at the campgrounds near the town of George during the electronic dance music festival in Washington state, CNN reported. Around 8:25 pm (local time), the report of the shooting came in front of police. According to the Grant County Sheriff`s Office, the shooting took place at the campgrounds near Washington`s Gorge Amphitheatre.

The suspected shooter walked away from the shooting scene before officers tracked him down, according to Sheriff`s Office spokesman Kyle Foreman. The suspect shot "randomly" into the crowd as he fled and was eventually taken into custody, Foreman said. The Gorge Amphitheatre was hosting a two-day music festival called Beyond Wonderland at the time, and the campgrounds were located several hundred yards from the venue, Foreman said.
