Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan<\/a> (D) announced Monday that officials will work to end the autonomous protest zone in the city after gun violence left one man dead over the weekend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Capitol Hill Occupied Protest zone has been in existence for approximately two weeks and has drawn rage and threats of intervention from President Trump<\/a>\"\"<\/img>Donald John Trump<\/a>South Korea slams Bolton book as ‘distorting the reality’ of nuclear talks <\/a> Democrats face tough questions with Bolton<\/a> Protesters try to bring down statue of Andrew Jackson near White House<\/a> MORE<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The announcement comes after there were two shootings in the would-be police-free zone, including one on Sunday when a 17-year-old was shot in the arm and another on Saturday when a <\/span>19-year-old was killed<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Durkan said the nighttime violence in the area is \u201cundermining and distracting from the message of change\u201d\u00a0for which\u00a0peaceful protesters are advocating after George Floyd<\/a>\u2019s death in Minneapolis police custody last month.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we believe that individuals, organizations and others can continue to gather on Capitol Hill peacefully, the continued disorder, the violence and the impacts on residents and businesses are not just at odds with the message of justice and equity, they cannot continue to occur,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The mayor said the organizers\u00a0in the autonomous zone have agreed they should stop gathering overnight after the incidents of violence. She said city officials are in regular communication with organizers and other community leaders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am hopeful and confident that these organizations that we are in dialogue with and others will work to encourage individuals to leave voluntarily, and we\u2019re working with those organizations and community leaders to resolve that situation,\u201d Durkan said.<\/p>\n

Demonstrators two weeks ago took over a several-block area near a police station after confrontations with officers, who used tear gas, pepper spray and flash-bangs. Police eventually left the East Precinct building, leading\u00a0activists\u00a0to declare the area an autonomous zone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The protests have mainly remained peaceful during the day, but violence has broken out at night, with demonstrators marching and openly armed guards keeping watch, <\/span>The Associated Press reported<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump has sharply condemned Durkan and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee<\/a>\"\"<\/img>Jay Robert Inslee<\/a>Seattle mayor: City will work to end autonomous zone after gun violence <\/a> Trump warns protesters ahead of Tulsa rally<\/a> Governors get reelection boost from COVID-19 responses<\/a> MORE<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> (D) for allowing the autonomous zone to operate, <\/span>threatening to get involved<\/span><\/a> if they didn\u2019t retake control of the city.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The zone was formed as part of the protests in response to Floyd\u2019s death in Minneapolis after video showed a former officer\u00a0kneeling on Floyd\u2019s neck for about nine minutes before his death.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
