Aug 31, 20201:41Now PlayingJay Bishop, a supporter from a right-wing group Patriot Prayer, was shot to death in a Portland protest on Saturday night.
In Portland on Saturday, police said some Trump supporters in trucks who were blocked in by protesters began exiting their vehicles. Fights broke out, the police said, and the caravan left the area about 8:30 p.m. Gunshots were heard about 15 minutes later. The police have released few other details and have asked the public for help finding the shooter.
The dead man was part of a caravan of counter-protesters to a Black Lives Matter demonstration on Saturday -- a group the Portland police said it had tried to keep away from protesters downtown. Trump tweeted his support for the caravan earlier, calling them “great patriots.” He later tweeted his condolences.
The death was the third fatality in less than a week as racial equality protesters clashed with armed counterprotesters backing President Donald Trump and law enforcement in several cities across the U.S.
Portland has been the site of protests, often violent, for months, following the killing of a Black man, George Floyd, by police in Minnesota in late May.
