Seven people are dead after a shooting at an afterparty in Seattle. I think I speak for almost everyone in the underground dance music community when I say an afterparty for a rave is the last place I'd expect to get shot. I'd be more worried going into a McDonald's.
Authorities have named 28-year-old Aaron Kyle Huff as the suspect in a gruesome set of six murders in Seattle over the weekend. Police believe Huff shot and killed attendees of a rave afterparty before taking his own life as police closed in on him.
Though no one at the late-night house party that followed the rave knew Huff, he was welcomed early Saturday morning, according to an Associated Press report. [...]
"We're probably the only community in society that would have welcomed somebody so easily," said Travis Webb, a Seattle-area rave promoter [...]
Lane Storli was at the afterparty until 5 a.m., but left because he got a "weird" vibe. Storli said there were about 15 people there when he arrived, most sitting around partying to a laptop DJ in a "very mellow, chill" atmosphere. Storli told the Times he left a few hours before the shooting began because, "I felt weird. I was getting bad vibes. It was just a weird party."
