Eric Barden, the deputy chief of the Seattle Police Department, stated at a news conference on Friday regarding the stabbings that there is a 'plausible link' between the two separate incidents, adding that 'the arbitrary nature of these assaults makes it likely that these are similar.' This highlights the troubling randomness and potential terror linked to the attacks.
Councilwoman Tammy J. Morales expressed concern over the victims' circumstances, indicating that almost all, if not all, of the victims were homeless. This raises significant questions about the safety and well-being of vulnerable populations in the Chinatown-International District.
Sgt. Patrick Michaud of the Seattle Police Department provided insight into the racial dynamics of the attacks, emphasizing that while the incidents occurred in a heavily Asian American neighborhood, the victims had varied racial backgrounds, suggesting that the motives behind the stabbings were likely not racially motivated.
