Protester shot by crazed gunman in Seattle

Chaotic scenes are unfolding in Seattle with streets covered in tear gas and reporters being shot.

 

People are sharing terrifying footage of police "aggressively" dispersing protesters not far from a George Floyd vigil.

Earlier a man was filmed driving through a barricade, ploughing into crowds before exiting the car with a gun and shooting a protester. 

Meanwhile, police and members of the public have knelt to wash the feet of black community leaders at a rally in Cary, North Carolina, as global protests against Floyd's death continue.

The Minneapolis City Council has also voted to disband the city's police department in response to the May 25 incident, when a white officer pressed his knee into Mr Floyd’s neck, ignoring his "I can't breathe" cries.

It comes as UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson condemns scenes of violence that saw dozens arrested and police officers injured on Sunday, in the 12th day of protests that have taken place across the US and around the world.
