Shootings near Donald Trump protest not related to demonstration: Seattle police
[SEATTLE] A gunman opened fire in downtown Seattle on Wednesday night following an argument and wounded five people, one man critically, not far from protests over the surprise victory of Republican Donald Trump in the US presidential election.
The shooting did not appear to be related to the anti-Trump demonstrations but instead stemmed from "some type of personal argument", Robert Merner, assistant chief of the Seattle Police Department, told reporters.
