"I am aware of an incident of shots fired, that occurred the night before outside the establishment but on that same block," said police chief Adrian Diaz during a press conference. "But I don't know if it is related to the actual hookah lounge."

Police are still investigating what led to the shooting. Five guns were recovered at the scene, police said.

"The growing concern is how many guns are being fired in these cases," Diaz said, according to KIRO-TV. "People pulling out and having a disregard for life."

Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell said in a statement that even as Seattle police "keeps up a rapid and record pace of recovering guns – 869 through July – there are still more illegal guns in the wrong hands that could be used to incite another tragedy like this one."
