At least two people were shot and one was killed inside Seattle's Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP) area early Saturday morning, and police say they are investigating despite it being in a "no-cop" zone of the city.

Police arrived on the scene on foot and prepared with anti-protest gear at the border of the citizen reclaimed protest zone. East Precinct police radio chatter said officers who arrived on the scene were collecting shell casings and evidence, and the second victim had a gunshot wound to the arm and chest.

Seattle Fire had been called to the scene to treat the victim, but they had already been transported by volunteers to Harborview, Capitol Hill Seattle Blog reported Saturday. A spokeswoman told the Seattle Timestwo gunshot victims were treated at Harborview Medical Center

Seattle Police have previously investigated several alleged break-ins and arson incidents over the past week, but no shootings. However, one suspect named Nikolas Fernandez was charged with one count of first-degree assault over a June 8 incident in which police say he drove into a crowd of protesters at 11th and Pine before shooting a man who attempted to disarm him.
