Demonstrators gathered in Olympia, Washington, on Thursday to protest a police shooting of two unarmed black men overnight.
The men survived the shooting, and the case was immediately turned over to outside investigators.
The 50 or so demonstrators, waving signs and chanting "No Justice, No Peace," marched for about a half-hour outside at City Hall in Olympia, the state capital.
Olympia Police Chief Ronnie Roberts said there was no immediate indication that race played a factor in the confrontation near a grocery store where the men had allegedly tried to steal beer about 1:15 a.m. (4:15 a.m. ET).
