Police confirmed on Twitter one man was shot but added no one else was injured.
Mayor Jenny Durkan and Police Chief Carmen Best were largely criticized by state lawmakers a day earlier for the aggressive nature of the police responding to protests.
At a news conference that ended less than an hour before the incident Sunday, Durkan said she would freeze spending on police technology, weapons, vehicles, and buildings until further talks with community members.
In an open letter to Durkan on Sunday, the head of Seattle’s police union blamed Saturday’s unrest on “criminal agitators who continue to attempt to provoke police.”
Seattle City Council President Lorena Gonzalez tweeted Saturday night she was “outraged” by the police response to the protests over the weekend.
