At least one person has died in Portland, Oregon, in clashes between supporters of Donald Trump and protesters from the Black Lives Matter movement, US media reported.
The man who was shot is white. Police have not released further details about the murder. In recent weeks, Portland has become the scene of large-scale protests that have led to clashes with the police.
Large-scale events in the United States erupted after the assassination of black George Floyd. He was killed during his arrest by white police officers. There have been protests against violence and the murder of blacks in many cities in the United States and around the world. Trump supporters in Portland have clashed with supporters of the BLM movement.
In a statement, Portland police said police received a report of a shooting in the Third Avenue area (southeast of the city) and found a man with a gunshot wound to the chest. It did not survive. It has not been revealed whether the killing had anything to do with the protests. Police are looking for witnesses to the shooting. The fatal incident occurred weeks before the US presidential election. The Republican Party accuses Democrats of failing to condemn the clashes in recent weeks. Trump has threatened to use brute force against protesters. Some of them used the protest as a pretext to rob stores.
