<p>The shooting happened at about 2.30am local time in the area near the city centre known as CHOP, which stands for Capitol Hill Occupied Protest, police said.</p>
<p>Officers who responded to the shooting initially had trouble getting to the victims because they were “met by a violent crowd that prevented officers safe access to the victims”, police said.</p>

<p>Two males with gunshot wounds arrived in a private vehicle at Harbourview Medical Centre at about 3am, said hospital spokeswoman Susan Gregg.</p>
<p>The 19-year-old man died and the other person is in a critical condition in the intensive care unit.</p>
<p>The suspect or suspects fled and police had no description of the gunman or gunmen, officers said.</p>
<p>“Homicide detectives responded and are conducting a thorough investigation, despite the challenges presented by the circumstances,” police said.</p>
<p>Investigators were reviewing public-source video and body-camera video for clues, Seattle police sergeant Lauren Truscott told The Seattle Times.</p>

<p>Protesters have cordoned off several streets near a police station in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighbourhood in the wake of demonstrations against police violence since the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis several weeks ago.</p>
<p>Police have largely retreated from the zone after clashes with protesters ended with people throwing things at officers and police tear gassing people and using other crowd control munitions.</p>
<p>City officials have said they are still communicating with protest leaders, who had pledged to keep the peace in the zone.</p>
<p>The situation has drawn the continued ire of President Donald Trump.</p>

<p>His tweets about possibly sending in the military have been met with condemnation from Seattle mayor Jenny Durkan and governor Jay Inslee, both Democrats.</p>
