KIRO-TV reported that the man was taken to the hospital with a “possible life threatening injury” following the shooting.
According to the local CBS affiliate, protesters began arriving about two hours before Yiannopoulos was scheduled to speak at the event. The protesters began clashing with police, and they “threw rocks, fireworks, and other items at officers.”
