OLYPMIA (AP) — In Olympia, police arrested a 27-year-old man participating in a rally in support of President Trump after he allegedly fired a gun at counter-protesters during a clash near the Capitol.
Police say the man was booked into jail on suspicion of assault.
The pro-Trump rally and march began Saturday afternoon on the capitol campus. After the Trump supporters encountered a group of counter-protestors, police say the two sides clashed.
Officers had ordered the crowd to disperse when the shooting suspect allegedly pulled out a pistol and fired toward the crowd. Officers asked anyone injured in the shooting to come forward.
