Man rams US protest, shoots bystander

A man has driven his car into a crowd of protesters in Seattle then shot and wounded a demonstrator who confronted him as he came to a stop, according to police and witness video.

Seattle police say firefighters took the man who was shot to the hospital and he was in stable condition. No one else was injured.

The suspect was seen in the video exiting his car on Sunday as protesters began to surround it. He brandished what appeared to be a gun, dashed through the crowd and turned himself over to police.

The incident was in contrast with the mostly peaceful weekend protests sparked by the death of George Floyd last month while in Minneapolis police custody.
