One person was shot dead in Portland on Saturday night as tensions between pro-Trump supporters and Black Lives Matter counter-protesters boiled over. The man was pictured wearing a Patriot Prayer baseball cap, showing allegiance to the far-Right group based in Vancouver, Washington and frequently present during Portland protests.
Details are still sketchy at present, but it appears that the deceased was shot in the chest by a peaceful Lefty "protester".
Portland police are still on the scene, but have not released any information regarding either the deceased or the shooter.
The shooting took place on Southwest 3rd Avenue and Alder Street - along the main throughfare which runs through the heart of Portland, past Portland State University. The man lay in the street as medics tended to the gunshot wounds. The body remained there after medics left. Next to the body was camouflage gear with infidel and thin blue line patches, which commonly indicate support for law enforcement. Police taped off the area.
