Also, I'm not condoning the shooting but I wouldn't be surprised if this is blown out of proportion.
According to reports, the 3 counter protesters were wearing masks and 1 was holding a BLM sign.
The BLM protesters, not keen of the counter protesters, attempted to move them off the block and the counter protesters wouldn't move. Then "someone (a BLM protester) from the crowd punched 1 of them ("white supremacist counter protester)". At which point more punched were thrown and the 3 counter protesters ("white supremacists") attempt to flee with the crowd of BLM protesters chasing after them. As the chase ensued, one of the white supremacist counter protesters pulled a gun and shot BLM protesters.
This is how a BLM protesting eye witness recounts the events. LINK
If anyone else wants to watch and transcribe that would be great. Hard to follow along with what these guys are describing and I'm also doing this at 4:30AM instead of sleeping.
In the end, everyone will wake up and the only headline that will be seen is "WHITE SUPREMACISTS SHOOT A BLM PROTESTERS" without any context of what actually happened. This will be a rallying cry on twitter tomorrow.

The three men wore masks covering their entire faces and were recording everyone's faces and wouldn't stop. One had a BLM sign so they didn't know how to react. They were asked to remove their masks, and stop recording people's faces they refused to do so. A punch was thrown twice knocking one man into a gate twice. The second time the man backed up and began reaching into his pocket and I realized he had a gun. I told them he had a gun and to don't chase them up the block. They chased them anyway to an area with no cameras and 5 people were shot.
