A chilling video from the scene shows people screaming and running for cover. |
| Police asked the public to avoid the area while they are investigating the incident, but revealed few additional details. | |
| It was not immediately clear if the shooting was a deliberate attack related to the ongoing protest, but a video from the march captured the moment shots were fired. | |
| However, Hiram Gilberto, an eyewitness who saw the incident unfold from mere three meters away and captured the video, said the shooter was inside a car while the injured person was a protester. | |
| “A protestor was shot with LIVE ROUNDS today. I was no more ten feet from the shooter and running towards his car.It was TOO CLOSE. Currently on my way to give a witness statement to APD. KEEP THOSE AFFECTED IN YOUR THOUGHTS,” he wrote in a Facebook post. | |
| The initial incident call suggested a shooting with “multiple patients involved,” but the first responders found only one adult victim. Medics transported him to a local trauma center with “critical, life threatening injuries.” | |
