Protester shot in Seattle after man drives vehicle through demonstration

At least one person has been shot after a man drove a vehicle through a Black Lives Matter protest in Seattle before getting out of the car and brandishing a gun at demonstrators.

Footage of the incident shared on Twitter depicts the moment the unnamed man drives up 11th and Pine St, prompting protesters to scatter.

As the vehicle slows to a stop, one person can be seen placing a barricade against the car, while several others surround it.

A gunshot sounds and one of the protesters up against the vehicle’s window falls to the found.

The Seattle Police Department tweeted it had taken the suspect into custody and added the city’s fire department had taken the shooting victim to hospital.
