Another video showed what appears to be a man running away down the street with a rifle. The individual appears to trip and fall, and he then allegedly shot one of the protesters that tried to jump on top of him.
Julio got footage of the second shooting.
It looks like the guy accused of shooting the first victim possibly shot the second victim. Not confirmed. This is insane. https://t.co/DoC6KowAXC
