Armed man drives through crowd at George Floyd protest in Seattle, shoots demonstrator

At least one person was shot in Seattle Sunday night after a car drove toward a group of protesters in the city’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.

The Seattle Fire Department said the victim was a 27-year-old man who was shot and taken to a hospital in stable condition.


Video taken by a reporter for The Seattle Times showed part of the scene in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, where demonstrators have gathered for days near a police precinct.

Videos posted to social media depicted a black car driving through a crowd. No one appeared to have been struck by the car before it came to a stop.

As someone is seen attempting to pull the driver from the car, a loud pop is heard.

The driver of the car can then be seen getting out of his car with a pistol in-hand.

The shooter then runs into the crowd, with at least three others appearing to give chase.
