Black Lives Matter protesters exchange gunfire with property owners amid march to DC

The group was fired upon the next night in a hotel parking lot

Black Lives Matter protesters on a march from Milwaukee to Washington, D.C., for the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech exchanged gunfire with Pennsylvania property owners Monday night — and one of the protesters was treated and released from a hospital after being hit by shotgun fire.

State police didn’t say who fired first in the incident, which took place in Juniata Township, Bedford County, WTAE-TV reported, but no charges have been filed.

What are the details?

State police said a property owner contacted authorities just after 11 p.m. about a group of people in a private business parking lot, and troopers later learned about 30 activists had been traveling on foot and in vehicles from Milwaukee to Washington, D.C., the station said.

About 11:35 p.m. at the same location — and prior to police arrival — the property owners confronted the activists, police added, according to WTAE. One police official told reporters that “he had asked them to leave, and they wouldn’t leave.

Police said things escalated, and gunshots were exchanged between the property owners and the activists, the station said, adding that one of the activists was hit by birdshot from a shotgun, after which he was treated and released from a Johnstown hospital.

A shotgun, shotgun shells, a semi-automatic pistol, and 9mm casings were recovered at the scene, police added, according to WTAE.

Marcher Tory Lowe said the group had parked to organize before they walked up an incline when a man emerged from a house and started shooting at them with a rifle, firing at least seven shots, the station said, citing a Facebook video posted early Tuesday morning.

“He was like three feet away from us shooting, and I told him there was a minister here,” Lowe said in the video, WTAE reported.

The group began marching Aug. 4 and planned to arrive in Washington by Friday, the 57th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, the station said, citing a report in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

A WTAJ-TV broadcast referred to the group as affiliated with Black Lives Matter.
