This was the first shooting: https://www.northwestfirearms.com/t...over-capital-hill.329222/page-26#post-2604135
I had to break my NYT boycott for this, but there's an archive of the story if you want to avoid giving that rag any clicks: Police Identify Suspect in Seattle Killing During June Protests Otherwise, just search for any of the quotes below and you'll get there.
Perfect -- tamper with the crime scene.
When was the last time professional police fired scare shots into the air, in a giant city no less?? Holy cow!
That's execution style -- if we still had the death penalty, this would qualify.

The authorities said they were able to identify the gunman as Marcel Levon Long, 18, after collecting "extremely high quality" surveillance video footage and statements from several eye witnesses. Mr. Long, whose last-known address was in Renton, Wash., about 20 minutes south of Seattle, remained at large as of Wednesday evening.
A witness who said he was the second in command at the CHOP volunteer security force told the police that he had collected shell casings and bullet fragments from the scene, the report said.
Perfect -- tamper with the crime scene.
Another witness, identified only as PR, told the police that he had witnessed the fatal shooting and tried to prevent it by firing "seven or eight rounds" from his own Glock 10-millimeter handgun into the air to distract the shooter, the report said.
"PR said the shooter looked at him then looked back" at Mr. Anderson "and shot him twice," the report said. As PR recounted these events to the police, he "completely broke down and sobbed," the report said, and he later identified Mr. Long from a series of photographs provided to him by the police.

PR, the witness, said Mr. Anderson tripped or fell and was on the ground when he was shot. According to the video, the police said, "it appeared Long fired his gun twice while pointing the gun in a downward angle."
