The shooter is at large.
From The New York Times, “Deadly Shooting in Portland After Pro-Trump Ralliers Clash With Protesters”:
A man was shot and killed Saturday as a large group of supporters of President Trump traveled in a caravan through downtown Portland, Ore., which has seen nightly protests for three consecutive months.
The pro-Trump rally drew hundreds of trucks full of supporters into the city. At times, Trump supporters and counterprotesters clashed on the streets, with people shooting paintball guns from the beds of pickup trucks and protesters throwing objects back at them.
A video that purports to be of the shooting, taken from the far side of the street, showed a small group of people in the road outside what appears to be a parking garage. Gunfire erupts, and a man collapses in the street.
The man who was shot and killed was wearing a hat with the insignia of Patriot Prayer, a far-right group based in Portland that has clashed with protesters in the past.
The Portland Police Bureau said that officers heard reports of gunfire shortly before 9 p.m. and found a victim with a gunshot wound to the chest. It was determined that the victim had died. They did not release any information about a possible gunman.
At the scene, police officers blocked off the road and medics attended to a person who appeared to have a chest wound.
“Next to the body was camouflage gear with infidel and thin blue line patches, which commonly indicate support for law enforcement,” The Oregonian reported.
“A photo from the scene published by Getty Images showed the person wearing a hat with a Patriot Prayer logo.”
“Just heard that the man killed is affiliated with my group,” Andrew “Black Rebel” Duncomb tweeted. “Just had drinks with him last Saturday.”

(Real) Medics tried to save the shooting victim in downtown Portland. It is a white male contrary to what antifa journalists and accounts said about it being a black victim. pic.twitter.com/jzE2ffqN73

The shooting victim in downtown Portland tonight had a side bag with a “blue lives matter” style flag. Many antifa on social media are celebrating his death, even though his ID is not yet known. The shooting suspect is still at-large. pic.twitter.com/1lLxrCl2Uq

There’s a clearer image of the suspected shooter in this video. It looks like he may be reaching for a gun in his fanny pack.

Was this retaliation for Kyle Rittenhouse defending himself in Kenosha?
