Seattle police arrested three teens Monday evening in connection with last week's homeless camp shooting that left two dead and three more injured.

The arrests occurred shortly after 4 p.m. near Fourth Avenue South and Interstate 90, reports indicate. The teens detained are 13, 16 and 17 years old, according to Seattle police.

The three are scheduled to make their first appearance in juvenile court at 2 p.m. Tuesday.

Police also found a gun and tested it to see whether it matches a weapon used in the slayings.

"There are no outstanding suspects that we're aware of," said Seattle Police Chief Kathleen O'Toole.

The shooting occurred about 7:20 p.m. Jan. 26 at "The Jungle," a homeless camp located at a greenbelt near the 1500 block of Airport Way South in the Sodo area.

O'Toole said Monday night at a news conference that detectives worked around the clock to identify the suspects and that numerous scenes were searched as well as a vehicle. She said police still believe at least two of the suspects fired weapons that night.

James Q. Tran, 33, and Jeannine L. Zapata, 45, were killed by the gunfire. Police believe they and the three other victims injured were specifically targeted. Chief Kathleen O'Toole said last week the incident appeared to be drug-related.

Harborview Medical Center spokeswoman Susan Gregg said Monday those wounded remain at the hospital with a man and woman in satisfactory condition.

The other woman wants to keep her condition private.

O'Toole said the city is continuing its assessment of the encampment, which is not authorized by the city, to determine what should be done at the site. Mayor Ed Murray said last week that particular encampment "has been unmanageable and out of control for almost two decades."

The shooting took place as Murray delivered a speech about the city's homelessness crisis and two months after he declared homelessness a city emergency.

The annual one-night homeless count found 4,505 in King County last week, including 2,942 in Seattle. The county number is up 19 percent from 2015.
