During demonstrations in the city of Portland, Oregon, a man was shot dead on Saturday evening. The incident occurred on the margins of protests by supporters and opponents of US President Donald Trump. Local media reported that.

An estimated 2,500 Trump supporters marched through Portland with hundreds of cars. There were confrontations with leftist groups.
The exact circumstances of the shooting incident are still unclear. The fatal victim is said to be a Trump supporter. For the time being, the police are not giving details about who shot.
Since George Floyd’s death in a brutal police crackdown in Minneapolis at the end of May, demonstrations, including by Black Lives Matter activists, have been rife in Portland, a city in the northwestern United States.
In other American cities people have also been on the streets for weeks to protest against the police violence against blacks. In Kenosha, Wisconsin, two more people were killed on the night from Tuesday to Wednesday. There have been protests there for days after a black man, Jacob Blake, was shot in the back during a police operation and was paralyzed from the waist down. President Trump will visit Kenosha on Tuesday.
