Ausmumof3 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) Our news report is saying shots were fired at protests? Does anyone know if that's true? Ok it looks like it wasn't at the protest but nearby. That is slightly less scary. Edited November 10, 2016 by Ausmumof3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liz CA Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Five people killed in downtown Seattle. They haven't released more information at this time. Good Grief. What protest? Don't tell me it's about the election??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amira Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 To reiterate, it appears it wasn't related to any protest. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Good Grief. What protest? Don't tell me it's about the election??? Looks like not protest related. "Police said an argument took place outside the 7-Eleven near Third Avenue and Pine Street about 6:45 p.m. The suspect walked away from a group of people, turned around, and fired at the crowd, according to police" http://www.king5.com/news/local/multiple-people-shot-in-downtown-seattle/350611854 Oakland has fires burning but luckily no shooting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartlikealion Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 On my newsfeed I heard that there were approx 200 protestors in the French Quarter or nearby, but I don't know how exaggerated that was. One guy said he drove by and that an effigy of Trump had been burned along with a tire? and a bank window nearby had been broken. But I haven't read about shots or guns.

Jean in Newcastle Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 There is a protest on the election going on. It was just a couple of blocks away. But as Amira said, the shooting was from a fight, not the protest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartlikealion Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I googled the New Orleans story and it says "dozens." http://www.nola.com/elections/index.ssf/2016/11/dozens_protesting_against_dona.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausmumof3 Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 Yeah apparently the shooting wasn't related to the protest just a couple of blocks away. Our media were quick to publish the story. Still tragic for those involved 😢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Five people killed in downtown Seattle. They haven't released more information at this time. the shooting was near the protests - but not part of the protests. it is likely gang related. the victims are NOT dead. two are in critical condition.

Yes, I saw that later. The initial "breaking news" ticker st the bottom of the tv screen was incorrect.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk well, it's more dramatic that way. the talking heads producer thinks they can get more viewers to watch for follow-ups.
