Man Drives Into Crowd On Capitol Hill, Shoots Protester

SEATTLE, WA — A man is in police custody after driving into a crowd of protesters gathered in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood Sunday night. Witness videos show the man exiting the car and brandishing a pistol, before eventually shooting a protester in the arm.

Footage taken by Chase Burns with The Stranger shows the man jumping out of his car, pistol in hand, and walking into the crowd.

Shortly after, one of the demonstrators was shot. This footage taken right after the attack purportedly shows the victim awake and alert, with an obvious wound to his arm. In the video, the man says he had punched the driver in an attempt to shop him, and the driver retaliated by shooting him.

Medics with Seattle Fire have taken the victim to a nearby hospital. They say he is in stable condition and expected to recover.

Seattle police say the driver was arrested, and a gun was recovered at the scene. Officers do not believe anyone else was hurt.

Before the attack, Sunday's protest had been peaceful, and livestreams of the protests show that after the attack, many remained on scene undeterred.

Black Lives Matter of Seattle has since identified the shooting victim as Dan Gregory. A fundraiser to pay his medical bills has been set up on GoFundMe here.
