SEATTLE — Two more people have been shot, one fatally, in the fourth shooting in 10 days within the boundaries of the free-protest zone set up near downtown Seattle amid a national wave of protests over police violence. The latest shooting, at about 3 a.m. on Monday, has accelerated tensions over what happens next in the protest area, known as the Capitol Hill Organized Protest zone, or CHOP. One victim arrived at Harborview Medical Center at 3:30 a.m. from the CHOP area, transported there by Seattle Fire Department medics, and died in the hospital. Another victim, a teenager, was taken to the hospital in a private vehicle and remained in critical condition in intensive care, said a spokeswoman for Harborview. Neither victim has been identified, but both are black, the authorities said.
