Partiers filled live broadcast the streets, jumped on cars, and made noise. On Tuesday evening, the climax of Fat Tuesday, 350 officers were live broadcast deployed and more than 4,000 people gathered in Pioneer Square. Bands of youths indiscriminately set upon individuals, beating them. One man, 20-year-old Kristopher Kime of Kent, died of injuries from such an attack. One car was turned over and set on fire. Police Chief Gil Kerlikowski called the crowd, "incredibly assaultive." He further live broadcast said, "It's hard to believe that it could turn so ugly and violent" (The Seattle Times). Mayor Paul Schell declared, "There will be no more Fat Tuesday in Seattle" (Seattle Post-Intelligencer).
