A member of the pro-Trump "Patriot Prayer" group was reportedly shot dead in the street during a pro-Trump rally in downtown Portland on Saturday night.



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."


Here's video from the scene:


The shooting was captured on video:



"After finding out that it was a 'blue lives matter' supporter who was killed, antifa in Portland are very happy," Andy Ngo tweeted. "They're dancing and chanting now."

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.
