The provocative far-right firebrand spoke at Kane Hall Friday night, mocking liberals to big laughs and a standing ovation. Dozens protested outside the hall, and one person suffered potentially life-threatening injuries from a gunshot wound to the abdomen. (Note: Attendee shot by Protester)
One man was shot and wounded, several people were hit with paint and officers avoided flying bricks outside the University of Washington’s Kane Hall on Friday night, where Breitbart News editor and provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos addressed a crowd on President Trump’s Inauguration Day.
The 34-year-old shooting victim was in critical condition Saturday morning after undergoing surgery, at Harborview Medical Center, spokeswoman Susan Gregg said.
A man turned himself in to University of Washington police and was arrested in connection with the shooting, police say.
A chaotic confrontation between ticket-holders and protesters started early in the evening in Red Square with shouts and fights. Authorities reported a man in the crowd had been shot in the abdomen. Medics took him to Harborview Medical Center with potentially life-threatening injuries, the Seattle Fire Department said.

'The Seattle Times article reports that, “one of the law-enforcement officials said the man who fired the gun claimed the man he shot was some type of white supremacist.”
The suspect was released without charges pending further investigation ...'
Protesters were violent, admits U.W. President after initially saying they weren’t.
“Ana Marie Cauce, president of the University of Washington, has amended a previous statement where she claimed that protests at MILO’s event last night were largely peaceful. She now admits that multiple people were assaulted by protesters.” - Breitbart
Did everyone wake up and see this political shooting on the front page of their papers?
Why not?
Seattle needs a good pyroclastic flow
Both people involved where leftist thugs. The guy shot tried to attack his fellow leftist.
If you would be so kind as to consider whether this rates Front Page News or Extended News and adjusting accordingly, I would appreciate it. I failed to categorize in my haste to post.
Thanks!
Like a lahar?
ping for one kind of close to home.
I’d have to call that ... Winning!
It’s not enough to disagree with someone.
You have to dehumanize them to provoke the weak minded into assault with extreme prejudice.
This is what Soros is funding - the dehumanization of political opponents so blood letting will be accepted as winning.
The confrontation began in “Red Square”!!
We’re the red army cadres accosting reactionaries?
Moscow on Peugeot Sound.
He has done this before. If anyone is hitlerian.
This shooting is why the police can not allow anarchists and other gutter snipes to cover their faces when rioting.
far right firebrand
Spin much?
come on..!
It’s a SET-UP:
They’re going to say MILO is responsible —financially.
And it sets the precident so subsequent campuses CANCEL with him, see..?
This wasn’t just SOME SPONTANEOUS shooting, okay?
The shooting had political objectives:
SHUTTING UP MILO, at any cost...
lol - the LA Times brands him as divisive...they're getting their talking point ducks in a row.
Actually, the local geology favors a catastrophic laharr. If you can't burn 'em, bury 'em.
