At least two people were shot and one was killed inside Seattle's Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP) area early Saturday morning, and police say they are investigating despite it being in a "no-cop" zone of the city.
Videos recorded Saturday morning show volunteer medics scrambling to help the purported victims after Seattle Police Department radio dispatchers received multiple reports of three to six gunshots around 2:20 a.m. People involved in the incident were seen fleeing the scene north from 10th Avenue and East Pine street in the city's Capitol Hill autonomous protest zone, also called CHAZ. Seattle Police abandoned the closest East Precinct building on June 8th after days of confrontations with protesters in the wake of George Floyd's death while in the custody of Minneapolis police.
Police confirmed the shooting to Newsweek Saturday but offered no additional details.
Police arrived on the scene on foot and prepared with anti-protest gear at the border of the citizen reclaimed protest zone. East Precinct police radio chatter said officers who arrived on the scene were collecting shell casings and evidence, and the second victim had a gunshot wound to the arm and chest.

It is now called Seattle's Loving Autonomous Youngsters (SLAY).
“Newsweek?” What’s that?
Truer words have not been spoken
So just what is anti-protest gear?
Is it something they wear to protect ourselves from of nonviolent rioters? LOL
Mostly peaceful...
Seattle police in a post Saturday on its blotter said police attempted to respond to a report of shots fired at Cal Anderson Park, inside the CHOP protest zone and across the street from the abandoned East Precinct, but officers “were met by a violent crowd that prevented officers safe access to the victims.”

[Omari Salisbury, citizen journalist with Converge Media] also described a scene of “pandemonium” at the medic tent when one of the victims was being treated there, as the medics and others argued over whether they should call Medic One or transport the victims themselves. “There was a lot of confusion,” he says on the video.

Homicide Investigation Inside Protest Area
Written by Public Affairs on June 20, 2020 9:59 am
Homicide detectives are investigating following a fatal shooting that occurred early Saturday morning at 10th Avenue and East Pine Street. One man was declared deceased at the hospital and another male is being treated for life-threatening injuries.
On June 20th, at approximately 2:30 AM, East Precinct officers responded to a report of shots fired in Cal Anderson Park. This is inside the area referred to as the Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP). Officers attempted to locate a shooting victim but were met by a violent crowd that prevented officers safe access to the victims. Officers were later informed that the victims, both males, had been transported to Harborview Medical Center by CHOP medics.
Officers responded to Harborview and were informed that one of the victims, a 19-year-old male, had died from injuries. The other victim, also a male, unknown age, remains in the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The suspect or suspect(s) fled and are still at large. There is no description at this time.
Homicide detectives responded and are conducting a thorough investigation, despite the challenges presented by the circumstances.
Good point.
Thank you. Excellent video of what is going on in Atlanta and the news blackout.

The SPD can’t even successfully send in an extraction team.
I guess the Gov lost the National Guard’s phone number.
Good point.
Since there were no additional riots, I’m guess the guy shot was a white guy.
White lives don’t matter in CHOP.
Why investigate. Let them die.
You're right.,
“The armed thugs have formed gangs and will battle it out for control of CHAZ.”
that was essentially inevitable ... and as unchecked gang warfare intensifies, the bulk of the upper-middleclass dupes will clear out, at least the ones with a lick of self-preservation sense, ultimately leaving just the violent gangs ... it’s really going to be fun to watch, basically a real-life version of “Lord of the Flies” ...
The feds stepped back and were waiting for requests for body bags.

Don’t suppose they could re-purpose those ventilators?
They killed a lot of people.
