OLYMPIA, Wash. \u2014 Police in Olympia arrested one person Saturday afternoon following a shooting at a violent protest between two heavily armed groups near the Capital building.<\/p>\n

The Thurston County sheriff\u2019s office confirmed the arrest but didn\u2019t immedia<\/a>tely release details.<\/p>\n

The Olympia Police Department said the person who was shot was taken to a hospital by other civilians. That person\u2019s injuries are unknown.<\/p>\n

Police said they are aware of several videos involving the shooting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The two groups had opposing political views, and each side was heavily armed with rifles, handguns and clubs, and engaged in violent clashes, police said. Police arrested a person earlier in the day for a firearms violation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had sporadic confrontations between groups throughout the day,\u201d said Sgt. Darren Wright of the Washington State Patrol.<\/p>\n

About 100 law enforcement officials with Olympia Police Department, Thurston County sheriff\u2019s office and Washington State Patrol tried to keep the protest orderly. Police declared a riot early in the afternoon and told the crowds to disperse.<\/p>\n

Officials described a chaotic, fluid situation where the two groups clashed on the streets in Olympia before moving onto the grounds of the Capital building, where they continued engaging in violence against each other. Many of the protesters wore helmets and carried shields and clubs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth groups were heavily armed, including firearms,\u201d said Lt. Paul Lower of the Olympia Police Department. \u201cThey were fighting amongst themselves, two factions with opposing political beliefs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Groups planning demonstrations in the city included a group that wanted COVID-19 restrictions lifted, another protesting President Donald Trump\u2019s loss in the presidential election last month, and a Black Lives Matter counter-protest.<\/p>\n

Police said the groups were dispersing away from the Capital and back onto city streets when the shooting occurred. Video in the aftermath of the shooting shows a person on the ground and another with a handgun walking across a parking lot.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
