Five people were shot near an anti-Trump rally in Seattle on Wednesday night, police said.

The shooting unfolded shortly before 7 p.m. around the corner from where the protesters were marching, according to the Seattle Times.

Local police said they believe the incident is not related to the demonstration.

“It’s not related to the protest at all,” Seattle Police assistant chief Robert Merner said at a press conference. “It appears to be some type of personal argument.”

Witnesses told the Seattle Times that a group of people had been arguing with the gunman when he decided to open fire. At least one of his victim’s was an innocent bystander, police said.

The anti-Trump rally had started at a nearby mall just blocks away from where the shooting occurred. Protesters were walking along adjacent streets when the incident happened, cops said.

The Seattle Fire Department tweeted that they were treating at least five people at the scene, including one who suffered life-threatening injuries. Officials told KIRO that four men and one woman had been among those struck by bullets.
