One person was shot and killed late Saturday in Portland, Oregon, as a large caravan of President Donald Trump supporters and Black Lives Matter protesters clashed in the streets, police said.
It wasn’t clear if the shooting was linked to fights that broke out as a caravan of about 600 vehicles was confronted by protesters in the city’s downtown.
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.

1. AP details this murder as a consequence of fighting between people supporting the President and Black Lives Matter protesters.
Although reports are being suppressed at this time, this was not Black Lives Matter: it was Democrat sponsored antifa. Imagine the consequences if Black Americans recognize that they have become the scapegoat for a Communist takeover of the country.
2. “the [dead] 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“.
From the Patriot Prayer Facebook page:
Patriot prayer is about using the power of love and prayer to fight the corruption both in the government and citizen levels that seek to gain power through division and deception.
I had to use DuckDuckGo to get information on Patriot Prayer since Google only returned information concerning its far-right roots.
3. The AP report starts with BLM protesters and then changes to protesters.

Exactly. Thanks for clarifying the issue.
