Panic in Colorado as Protester 'Opens Fire' on Speeding Vehicle
Protesters ducked for cover in Aurora, Colorado, on July 25 as a vehicle drove towards a marching crowd on the I-225 and at least one demonstrator opened fire, police and local reports said.
Local reports described dramatic scenes in which a driver pulled his truck into the path of a speeding blue Jeep in an effort to stop the Jeep reaching the marchers, and a protester opened fire on the Jeep, striking another protester in the leg.
