One person has been shot and killed in the United States city of Portland, Oregon, after a large caravan of President Donald Trump supporters and Black Lives Matter protesters clashed in the streets, according to police.Portland has been the site of nightly protests since the police killing of George FloydIt wasn't clear if the shooting was linked to fights that broke out as a caravan of about 600 vehicles was confronted by counter-demonstrators in the city's downtown.
Police said the caravan had left the area around 8:30pm , and officers heard gunshots about 8:46 pm, 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.The freelancer said the man was wearing a hat bearing the insignia of Patriot Prayer, a right-wing group whose members have frequently clashed with protesters in Portland in the past.
Police said the man was shot in the chest. He was not immediately identified. It's unclear who shot him.Many of the protests have ended in vandalism and violence, with hundreds arrested.
