19-Year-Old Killed in Shooting in Seattle's Autonomous "Capitol Hill Occupied Protest" Zone
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Seattle, a 19-year-old was killed, and another person critically
injured, early Saturday during a shooting in a part of the city occupied
by protesters. A separate shooting late Sunday left another person
hospitalized with gunshot wounds. Both shootings took place in the
"Capitol Hill Occupied Protest" zone - a several-block area of Seattle
taken over by activists earlier this month after police abandoned their
militarized response to protests demanding an end to racism and police
brutality.
