An unidentified man was listed in critical condition after he was shot during a demonstration Friday at the University when anti-Donald Trump protesters clashed ticket-holders there to see far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos.
(FOX)- The suspect, who was described in reports as an Asian male in his 50s, is reportedly still on the loose.
Harborview Medical Center spokeswoman Susan Gregg says the man, believed to be in his early 20s, arrived at the hospital at 9 p.m. and that he was in surgery. Reports say that the injuries are potentially life-threatening.
People marching against President Donald Trump had joined the Yiannopoulos demonstration at the University of Washington just prior to the shooting.
Yiannopoulos writes for right-wing Breitbart News and is known for leading a harassment campaign that resulted in a lifetime ban from Twitter.
One witness told KOMO News that the victim was trying to keep the peace during the protest.
Besides the shooting, bricks and paint balloons were thrown at police and authorities responded with pepper spray.
