Man shot outside UW event for Milo Yiannopoulos | 20 Jan 2017 | A man was shot at a University of Washington protest in the campus' Red Square outside an event with controversial Brietbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos on Friday night. The University of Washington College Republicans invited Yiannopoulos to speak on Friday, the day of Donald Trump's inauguration.People hoping to attend the event started gathering on campus around 5 p.m. Protesters showed up around 6 p.m. and began clashing with police. Meanwhile, in downtown Seattle another protest left Westlake Park, with some demonstrators marching to the U-District to join the UW protest. Protesters threw rocks, fireworks, and other items at officers. They blocked the entrance to Kane Hall, but Yiannopoulos’ speech still started around 8 p.m. Protesters from the Westlake Rally were only about two blocks away from UW before the shooting happened.
