Seattle rioters seen damaging, looting stores; police say fire sparked at precinct, officer hospitalized

Marching demonstrators damaged and looted buildings in downtown Seattle Sunday before turning violent, resulting in the arrest of two people and leaving a police officer hospitalized, police said.

In addition, police said Sunday evening the demonstrators had broken out several windows of the East Precinct, then threw a device into the lobby that ignited a small fire.
The fire was later extinguished and no injuries were reported, police said.

The demonstration, which started between 2 and 3 p.m. near the intersection of 3rd Avenue and Pine Street, resulted in crowds blocking an intersection, a photo posted on Seattle’s DOT traffic channel showed. Click here for more on our top story.
