A group of more than 200 pro-Palestinian protesters gathered on the University of Washington campus Tuesday night, with demonstrators twice using spray paint to vandalize the lens of a KOMO News camera.

Additionally, a KOMO News crew witnessed at least one fight during the demonstration, with at least 10 people involved in the skirmish. No arrests were reported and nobody appeared to be seriously hurt.

Throughout the protest, demonstrators held up black umbrellas as a means to block off access to the Quad on UW's campus. Moreover, several of the participants used plastic trash cans as a means to create a barrier between themselves and onlookers.

2:19 Conservative Commentator Charlie Kirk appeared on the UW campus Tuesday amidst heightened tensions, and just a few hundred yards away from a growing encampment at the Quad.

Kirk encouraged people to debate him about vaccines and foreign policy, and a couple hundred people stood around to watch the spectacle, which was rather calm at 1:30 p.m.

A stroll through the quad, home to protestors since last Monday, also appeared rather calm.

However, a few university police officers and security were seen near the borders of the Quad, and temporary fencing was seen in place, but students and faculty continued to stroll without obstruction through the popular campus spot.
