Stunned protesters surround a car that has driven into their ranks. A man is lying on the ground nearby. Another man exits the driver's side of the vehicle brandishing a gun. The protesters back away from him and he runs off and melts into the crowd as medics rush to help the wounded man. The dramatic scenes of the drive-by shooting on the streets of Seattle were captured by Reuters photographer Lindsey Wasson during protests against police brutality and racism that have rocked the city - and many other places across the United States - in recent days. Wasson, a Seattle native, has been covering the protests in Washington state's largest city since May 31. She took the series of pictures on Sunday evening from the window of a local newspaper that has offices overlooking a street that became a flashpoint. "I had maybe just stepped to the main window, and I was looking over the crowd and seeing what was going on. I heard a scream and commotion and rushed to the dirty side window to photograph what was happening in a side street," she said. "The whole sequence probably took a minute, it happened very quickly."
