SEATTLE—Three teens are suspected in a drug-related shooting that left two people dead and three wounded at a well-known Seattle homeless camp, a crime that comes as the city struggles with a surge of people living on the streets.

The suspects — boys ages 13, 16 and 17 — were arrested Monday in what police described as a “targeted” shooting at the longstanding encampment known as the Jungle, about a mile from downtown. They were scheduled to appear in juvenile court Tuesday afternoon.
