I've been told an individual was grazed with a bullet in Olympia today and have seen a picture of the injury. Working on getting permission to publish and any additional details. Stay tuned. NB: I am *not* in Olympia and cannot confirm this independently, it does come from a trusted source I've worked with before. This individual is alleged to be the shooter. According to the victim:

I'm downtown but been running and filming since I got on the ground. Got knocked down by officers 227 from DHS who then shot me up as I retrieved my phone. Here's that moment when DHS officers rush the crowd, I try to back up while still shooting, get knocked over a photographer, and if you listen closely you may hear the pepper balls shot at my phone as I retrieved it from the ground.

I'm downtown right now where there's been a bit of a tense situation--it sounds like the new Ribs crew, some call them PirateRibs, has been clearing the houseless camp from near the Justice Center. An individual was apparently down at the park when the confrontation began says they had a shotgun couches at them by someone representing PirateRibs. I spoke briefly with D'Anthony but I'm working on getting additional interviews before posting that.

Couple dozen police vehicles up here on Rte 26 and Rd 27. They will only tell me, "we're investigating a crime, the areas closed until then." #26rd27 one vehicle leaves the scene, no idea where he's headed except west.

Time for the first #realtalk thread of the night! Let's talk #lesslethalweapons. ~16 years ago these were often referred to as #nonlethal, before #victoriasnelgrove was shot in the eye and killed during celebrations after #redsox won game 7 in 2004. wbur.org/news/2014/10/2… #lesslethalweapons have been around for a long time, but surprising as it may be, they weren't used first in the United States, but most notably in Northern Ireland to quell "nationalist riots" during #thetroubles bbc.com/news/uk-northe…
