Police comments on victims of the shooting in Seattle

As a result of shooting at the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) seized by protesters in Seattle, a 16-year-old teenager was killed, another teenager was injured, the city police department said.

The message recalls that the shooting occurred early in the morning local time at the intersection of 12 Avenue and Pike Street. Presumably, both teenagers were in a jeep. Both were taken to a hospital, one in a private car. It is indicated that the investigators examined the jeep, but concluded that they had already “trodden” there, which would probably complicate the investigation of the crime.

Other details of the incident are not given.

Protesters a few days ago took several blocks in downtown Seattle, declaring this territory the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” (CHAZ). Police officers were ordered to leave the area to reduce tensions.
