According to people on the scene guy drove toward protest and was chased. The man shot punched him in an attempt to disarm and was shot in the arm. Guy jumped out, pointed gun at crowd and ran to the police lines.

Bizarre scene as SPD pointing pepper spray and throwing blast balls as Marvin Gaye plays in the background from Cheech and Changas, a small Chimichanga stand at Broadway and Pine.
