SEATTLE, Wash (AP) – Prosecutors charged a couple in a shooting during a protest of a right-wing speaker at the University of Washington.

King County prosecutors charged Elizabeth Hokoana with first-degree assault with a firearm for shooting a protester.

They also charged her husband, Marc Hokoana, with third-degree assault for his involvement in the January 20th shooting.

Elizabeth Hokoana’s attorney tells The Seattle Times his client shot the person because she believed her husband was in danger.

It happened outside the appearance of political provocateur and Trump supporter Milo Yiannopoulos.
