A man was shot dead and another seriously injured on June 20 in the "autonomous region" created by protesters in Seattle, Washington.

Police said the shooting occurred around 2:30 pm on June 20 (4:30 pm Hanoi time) in what is known as the "Capitol Hill Autonomous Region" (CHOP).

Protesters later told the police that the victims had been transferred to a regional hospital.

The suspect fled.

The protest organizers met to discuss the shooting.

The "Capitol Hill Autonomous Region" was created two weeks ago amid a wave of protests "The color life is also important" in the US.

The core objective of this area is to build a police-free, autonomous community.

Mike Solan, union president representing more than 1,000 Seattle police officers, said that "violence has now besieged" the autonomous region. "It's no longer the summer of love, it's the summer of chaos.

Trump has repeatedly criticized the "autonomous region" and threatened military intervention.
