People protesting against a police shooting that left a man dead rallied in Washington city, staging a march and at one point shutting down traffic on a bridge over the Columbia River.
The Tri-City Herald reports (http://bit.ly/1MJQxFr) that more than 50 people were in the group of protesters Saturday evening.
Demonstrators blocked traffic along the cable bridge as they slowly marched from Pasco toward Kennewick. Many motorists yelled and honked in support.
The protesters then turned and marched back toward Pasco, blocking traffic heading north as the sun set on the Columbia River. The marchers shouted "We will not be silenced" and "We are all Antonio," referring to Antonio Zambrano-Montes, who was killed by police.
"This is about the right not to be shot by police because you have a rock in your hand," said Alfredo Lamedo, 53, of Spokane, as he marched. "How many bullets were in that rock?"
