I'm 10 mins behind and getting news through affiliates but word is 6-20 shots in rapid succession and two officers shot. People didn't appear to run far, helicopter doesn't appear to be doing much towards spotlighting... Friend of friend of commentator relayed from Twitter that 6 people shot and shooter is in Omni Hotel. Ktvt and kdaf are telling people to flee the area.

Agent provocateur sniper. Way to squash the first amendment right to peaceful assembly, with a dash of 'assault rifle' demonization. Ughhhhhh.... Wtf.

I hope all goes well for those wounded officers. I think it's quite fair to say that snipers in elevated positions are not part of a peaceful protest march on the street. This is stupid. Shooting uninvolved officers and putting citizens of all races in harm's way accomplishes nothing.

'Assault rifle' demonization. I thought it was odd for Rep John Lewis to ask all the people to come back to the Capitol on Thursday to rally against gun violence.

And /\ there's your agent provocateur.

Chief confirmed that guyvis a person of interest.....only because he matched a description of one of the shooters...black and wearing a camo shirt....that's all ATM.
Saw an earlier interview with a witness that said several protesters were open carrying before the shootings took place....just a bit of clarification....not saying that guy IS one of the shooters or isn't.....just a person of interest.
