Trump rally-goer arrested for assault in Olympia

OLYMPIA, Wash. — (AP) - Police arrested a 27-year-old man participating in a rally in support of President Donald Trump after he allegedly fired a gun at counter-protesters during a clash in Olympia.

The Olympia Police Department says the man was booked into jail on suspicion of first- and second-degree assault.

The pro-Trump rally and march began Saturday afternoon on the capitol campus.

After the Trump supporters encountered a group of counter-protestors, police say the two sides clashed.

Officers had ordered the crowd to disperse when the shooting suspect allegedly pulled out a pistol and fired toward the crowd.

Officers asked anyone injured in the shooting to come forward.
