The Capitol Hill Occupied Protest (CHOP) had a second shooting incident in 48 hours as a Twitch livestream caught the audio. But it was what happened afterwards that should have citizens concerned as the Twitch user’s phone was taken from him. The livestream continued to broadcast as at least two members of CHOP “security” attempted to prevent the footage from getting out.
Twitter user @ShawnGui_, Shawn Whiting, was livestreaming on Twitch for just under four hours. Near the end, gunshots can be heard. At the time, it was unclear if the noise was actual gunshots or fireworks, but his phone continued to livestream after it was taken by a member of CHOP “security.” The man who carried the phone away confirmed at least one person had been shot.
Here's my unedited footage of the shooting at the Seattle #CHAZ / #CHOP free zone tonight: https://t.co/7nAsWHAc50

I have no details on what happened besides what appears in the video. Afterwards no one laid hands on me but they did take my phone. They then gave it back. ↓
*gun shots are about 3:44 into the video*
