A suspect was detained after an “active shooter” situation at a campground near the Gorge Amphitheater on Saturday in Washington, the sheriff said.
“Gorge shooter in custody. The incident took place in the camp ground NOT the concert venue,” the Grant County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post at about 9 p.m. local time.

The open-air venue, which can host up to 27,500 people, was scheduled on Saturday to host Beyond Wonderland, an electronic dance festival.
