On January 20, anti-fascist demonstrators and fans of the now-reviled Milo Yiannopoulos clashed outside the University of Washington's Kane Hall. Elizabeth Hokoana, 29, allegedly shot Josh Dukes, a protestor, in the abdomen during the clash. She claimed she fired the gun out of fear for her husband's life.

Today, King County prosecutors charged Hokoana with first-degree assault "with a firearm enhancement," The Seattle Times reports. Her husband, Marc Hokoana, 29, was charged with third-degree assault "for allegedly using pepper-spray in the crowd just before the shooting."

In court documents, prosecutors said the shooting ā€œwas not an impulsive act done in a moment of fear.ā€

Evidence in the charging papers ā€œdemonstrates that the defendants went to the event at the UW campus with the intent to provoke altercations with protesters who they knew would be at this controversial event,ā€ wrote Senior Deputy Prosecutor Mary Barbosa.

ā€œThe defendants created a situation designed to allow Elizabeth Hokoana to shoot the victim in the middle of an extremely crowded event under the guise of defending her or her husband,ā€ Barbosa wrote.

In the Hokoanas' charging documents, officials with the University of Washington Police Department wrote that they obtained a warrant to search Marc's Facebook page. Here's what they found:

On January 19, 2017 Marc HOKOANA and [REDACTED] sent messages back and forth thru their Facebook accounts. At approximately 11:31 am Marc HOKOANA sent a message to [REDACTED] stating ā€œI canā€™t wait for tomorrow, Iā€™m going to the Milo event and if the snowflakes get out off hand Iā€™m just going to wade through their ranks and start cracking skulls.ā€ [REDACTED] responded ā€œ[REDACTED] do itā€. At approximately 11:36 [REDACTED] asked Marc HOKOANA over Facebook ā€œGod you gonna carry?ā€. Mar responded ā€œNah, Iā€™m going full meleeā€. Marc followed up with the comment ā€œLily itā€™sā€ and shortly stated ā€œIs*ā€, [REDACTED] replied by saying ā€œGET EMā€ and followed up with ā€œjust donā€™t end up in jailā€. It was later learned that Elizabeth HOKOANA goes by ā€œLily.ā€

In a joint statement provided to the Times, the Hokoanas' attorneys said that they "look forward to presenting our case to a jury and we anticipate an acquittal."
