SEATAC, Wash. — There are still many unanswered questions for the families of those killed a mass shooting at a south Seattle business.

Jonathan Bishu, 22, Trevis Bellard, 32, and Nadia Kassa, 30, were killed in the shooting, while six others were injured at a lounge on the 2200 block of Rainier Avenue S.

The family of Nadia Kassa gathered in SeaTac on Tuesday to mourn with the Ethiopian Muslim community.

“It’s a shock, a disbelief, it’s still something we’re really struggling to digest, and we really don’t know how we’re going to move forward,” Fedilla Kassa, Nadia’s sister, said.
