Beyond Wonderland shooting: What we know so far

Two people were killed and three people were injured in a shooting at the Gorge Amphitheatre as a music festival was underway. 

Here's what we know so far: 

What happened 

The Grant County Sheriff's Office responded to a shots fired call around 8:25 p.m. on June 17 at a campground near the Gorge Amphitheatre. An ‘active shooter’ alert was issued on their Facebook page. 

A multi-day EDM festival, Beyond Wonderland, was underway at the time of the shooting. Many festival attendees were camping on the grounds near the venue.

Five people were shot at the campground. Two of them died at the scene. 

There were officers from several different local law enforcement agencies providing services at the Gorge that night. Those agencies included: the Grant County Sheriff’s Office, the Moses Lake Police Department, the Soap Lake Police Department, the US Bureau of Land Management, the Quincy Police Department, and the Royal City Police Department. All those officers responded to Campground H in the northeast corner of the campground. 

The Grant County Sheriff's Office said while deputies responded to the call, the suspect "randomly continued to shoot into the crowd.

The suspect was quickly located in an agricultural field near the campground and was shot by a Moses Lake police officer. 

The second day of the festival was canceled in response to the shooting. 

The suspect

The Grant County Sheriff's Office has identified the suspect as 26-year-old James Kelly, an active duty member of the US Army based out of Joint Base Lewis McChord (JBLM). 

Deputies say he was attending the festival with one of the victims. FOX 13 is working to clarify what regulations and safety measures existed at the campground sites. 

Kelly was shot by a Moses Lake Police Department officer. He was sent to the hospital for recovery and has since been discharged and booked into Grant County Jail. 

He was booked into jail for two counts of investigation of first-degree murder, two counts of first-degree assault and one count of first-degree assault-domestic violence. 

Police have not yet publicly announced a motive for the shooting.
