The victim, who was transported to the hospital, was a man, 27, who was shot, according to the Seattle Fire Department. That man is in stable condition, police said.

Police added that they do not believe there are additional victims.

The crowds were part of the nationwide protests that have been ongoing in the two weeks since the death of George Floyd, who died in Minneapolis after begging for his life when a police officer pressed a knee to his neck.

Protesters pay their respects at a memorial to people who died during protests protesting the death of George Floyd on June 7, in Seattle, Washington.

The protests continued until the night after the Police issued at least two dispersal orders.

"The crowd is throwing bottles, rocks, fireworks, and other projectiles at officers," Seattle Police said in a tweet. "The crowd is aiming green lasers at the agents' eyes."

The Police responded with pepper spray and pellets.
