A Man Ploughed Into Crowds Of Black Lives Matter Protesters Shooting One In The Process



A man reportedly drove through a barricade in Seattle, ploughing into crowds of Black Lives Matter protesters. He shot one person in the process. The protesters surrounded his car and tried to stop him from moving further, so he exited the car with a gun.

Some of the eyewitnesses claim the man headed towards a crowd of protesters in the city's Capitol Hill district before getting out of the car, brandishing a gun on Sunday, June 7.

 

"He exited his car and flashed a gun," a man tweeted with footage of the incident.


"The police say they have the man in custody and have the gun.

"They asked for anybody who is hurt to come to the barricade. A man was on the ground on 11th and Pine. He’s up now."

 

A 27-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound and was taken to the hospital in stable condition. A photo shared online shows him being moved from the scene.

A number of other people were reportedly injured at the scene, and the victim said he saw the car coming down the street and pursued it to try and protect the crowd. The man said he punched the driver before being shot.

 

The gunman later surrendered to the police after protesters caught up with him.

"The protesters stopped the man with the gun. The man with the gun ran to the police for safety," Chase Burns who filmed the incident wrote.

 

Meanwhile, twitter users reacted by pointing out that even though the man had a gun, police officers did not shoot him or use a taser on him.

The Pros and Cons Of COVID-19 Contact Tracing Apps

                Written by                Jack -  Guest author Contact tracing apps seem to be the new fad. Their popularity is also one that comes on the back of a series of unfortunate events. They seem to hold another approach to fighting the menace of a disease that has claimed no less than 400,000 lives worldwide. The widespread race to get these apps working can also be attributed to the coming together of two big names in tech, Apple and Google, to make the frameworks for such apps happen.
