Protests in San Jose over the police killing of a Minnesota man escalated multiple times throughout Friday afternoon and evening, including the shutdown of Highway 101, police deploying tear gas and a deputy firing at an SUV that ran over protesters.
The vehicle was captured on video around 9:05 p.m. after drove toward a group of demonstrators at Sixth and Santa Clara streets, then backed into the crowd, hitting at least two people before it sped away.
A Santa Clara County Sheriff’s deputy fired at the fleeing SUV, and a law-enforcement source said it appears the vehicle was hit, though police did not say whether the SUV and its driver were still at large. San Jose PD is investigating, as is the District Attorney’s Office.
Officials have not released information on the condition of the two people hit be the SUV.
