A man has been shot and killed during protests by rival left and right groups in the US city of Denver.
Police arrested a suspect who, NBC News affiliate KUSA-TV, said was working as a security guard to protect station personnel, according to its website.
“It has been the practice of (KUSA) for several months to hire private security to accompany staff in protests,” the station said.
The shooting took place Saturday in a courtyard of the Denver Art Museum during a so-called “Patriot Rally” that was met by counter-protests from groups calling their rally “BLM-Antifa Soup Drive.”
Denver Police Chief of Investigations Joe Montoya did not confirm whether the suspect worked for the station. The authorities have not identified the victim or the alleged aggressor.
Montoya said police kept the two groups separate and that there were no other arrests during the competing rallies.
A Denver Post photographer captured the image of a man spraying a chemical agent on another man with a drawn pistol.
