A 27-year-old man was shot Sunday night after a car was driven into a crowd of protesters during a demonstration in Seattle, Washington.
A video posted by the Seattle Times appears to show Capitol Hill demonstrators stopping the progress of a black car, which reporters said had driven at speed towards hundreds of people, before one man is shot by the driver after approaching the vehicle.

The incident occurred during a further day of Black Lives Matter demonstrations against police brutality, including the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis last month.
