Shooting at Seattle’s CHOP protest site kills 16-year-old boy, leaves 14-year-old seriously injured

A 16-year-old boy was killed and a 14-year-old boy was wounded early Monday morning when they were shot at 12th Avenue and East Pike Street in the protest area known as CHOP, in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.

The shooting amplified calls to bring law enforcement back to the East Precinct and shut down CHOP, though protesters say the violence isn’t connected to the movement and they won’t leave until their demands are met. Monday’s gun violence marked the second fatal shooting of a teenager in the area in a little over a week — Lorenzo Anderson, 19, died after being shot at the edge of the protest area in the early morning hours of June 20.

Monday’s fatal shooting also raised concerns from protesters and Black clergy members alike about the city’s response to the protest zone, with debates about what should be done next erupting later in the morning near the scene.

How many people have died now in this socialist experiment? The Mayor needs to be asked if it was worth it.

Any reports of the dwindling “population” there due to the violence, and that it’s not turning out to be the rainbows and unicorns fantasyland the snowflakes thought it would be?

The people of NYC voted in an "absolute moron" as mayor? What's that say about NYC voters?

The 14-Year-old is dead now, as well.

The CHOP shooters claimed the kids were shooting at them. No guns were found at the scene, and the passenger window was rolled up when the CHOP shooters killed them.

It was murder.
