A man was hospitalized with a possible life-threatening injury after being shot by an unknown suspect in the abdomen Friday night at a protest at the University of Washington in Seattle, police said.
It is unclear who shot the man, as were the circumstances under which he was shot. Police have not yet released a description of the suspect.
According to ABC affiliate KOMO, the protest was pegged to the slated 7:30 p.m. speaking engagement of alt-right figure Milo Yiannopoulos, as well as those protesting Donald Trump's presidency.
"Officers working to remove one person with suspected gunshot wound to abdomen from crowd at UW campus demonstration," tweeted the Seattle Police Department.
The University of Washington's alert system tweeted, "Gunshot victim found in vicinity of Red Square amid protest. Clear and stay out of the area."
The Seattle Fire Department said the victim was transported to the Harborview Medical Center. "Adult male transported to HMC with possible life threatening injury from a gun shot wound," the fire department tweeted.
