It will seem that car drove aggressively -- it's true except that happened after the driver got shot (and even after being shot, avoids striking rioters as much as possible): slowmo, zoomed in:

Provo Police statement in full unmangled by MSM:
Provo City Police were made aware of a planned Police Rally and a Counter protest scheduled for last night. Both events coincided without incident until 8:38 pm when a call was received regarding possible gun shots and a hit and run.
Shortly thereafter, we received another call regarding a shooting victim at Utah Valley Hospital. Numerous citizens and protestors provided video footage. A white SUV was driving south on University Avenue before pulling into the right turn lane in an attempt to turn onto Center Street. Several protestors began crowding around the vehicle. A male protestor ran to the SVU on the passenger side, pointed a handgun at driver and shot one round through the window.
The driver, who was struck by the bullet, hit the gas trying to leave the situation.
The same protestor ran after the vehicle and shot a second round that went through the rear passenger window. The video then shows that the protestor conceals the firearm and continues to protest.
This same protestor later approached another vehicle at 500 North and University Avenue striking and breaking the window with the handgun. We are grateful for the photos and videos we've received and we are following all leads.
If anyone has video or photos of the incident at Center Street and University Avenue, please contact Detective Patterson at [email protected].
