At the time of the shooting, she said, police already were outside the bar because more than 600 people had gathered there to celebrate the Seahawks victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
The Seattle Times and King 5 both reported that several Seahawks players were at the bar at the time but were in a VIP room at the time of the gunplay. They were escorted from the bar without incident.
