Police said the caravan had left the area around 8:30 p.m., and officers heard gunshots at about 8:46 p.m., according to a statement. Officers arrived at the shooting scene “within a minute,” police said, but the man who was shot did not survive.An Associated Press freelance photographer heard three gunshots and then observed police medics working on the body of the victim, who appeared to be a white man.
“It is important for detectives get a full and accurate picture of what happened before, during, and after the shooting,” a police statement said. “If anyone was a witness, has video, or has information about the homicide, they’re asked to contact the primary detectives.” In the two hours following the shooting, protesters gathered downtown and there was sporadic fighting and vandalism, police stated. Some gave speeches in Lownsdale Square Park before the protest petered out. Ten people were arrested, police said.The caravan had arrived downtown just as a protest planned for Saturday was getting under way.
The caravan had gathered earlier in the day at a suburban mall and drove as a group to the heart of Portland. As they arrived in the city, protesters attempted to stop them by standing in the street and blocking bridges.
I love the Glob & Fail's distinctions between the two sides: 1. Trump supporters 2. protesters (not rioters and anarchists)
Please tell the truth
The dead man appears to be white so we can assume this is once again left wing extremists using violence sanctioned by the media again...and again...
Just commented above; America is already in a low burning Civil War II. Will democrats manage to win in time and change America to normal, decent, civilized.. country, or will Thump get re-elected and complete his evil plans. In either case the low burning may turn into full fire
False AntifaTerrorists clash with Trump supporters and kill one. TrumpLandslide
You mean, white supremacist terrorists. Call them what they are.
How biased can you be. This is more like it:
How about “Rioters and Antifa clash with Counter Protesters “? Can’t say they are all Trump supporters maybe just people tired of the bullshit.
The Trump caravan of vigilantes convened thru FB, explicitly telling them to conceal carry, meaning arm yourselves. Instead of designated route they purposely went thru city streets to instigate & incite violence. This is Trump's gambit to win election. He's lawless & dangerous
Trump and his supporters are trying to start a Civil War with white supremacist armed militias so white people will vote for Trump in the suburbs. RacistSexistCheatingRepublicans People need to speak out this needs to stop
