Portland has been the scene of protests and violence since the police killing of George Floyd in May (Picture: Getty/AP) A man has died in Portland after Donald Trump backers clashed with Black Lives Matter protesters on Saturday night, according to American Police. He was shot and killed in the Oregon city after a large caravan of about 600 vehicles carrying supporters the President fought with anti-racism demonstrators in the streets. An Associated Press freelance photographer heard three gunshots and then observed police medics working on the victim, who appeared to be a white man. It is not clear if the shooting was linked to the violence that broke out as the caravan was confronted by counter-demonstrators in the city centre. Police said the caravan had left the area at around 8.30pm local time on Saturday, and officers heard gunshots at about 8.46pm, according to a statement. Police say they arrived at the shooting scene ‘within a minute’, police said, but the victim did not survive. The photographer 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. Police previously said the man was shot in the chest. He was not immediately identified and it is unclear who shot him.

Hundreds of demonstrators have been arrested by local and federal law enforcement since late May. In the two hours following the shooting, protesters gathered in the city centre and there was sporadic fighting and vandalism, police stated, added that ten people were arrested. Some gave speeches in Lownsdale Square Park before the protest petered out. The caravan had arrived in the city centre just as a planned protest was getting under way.

The caravan marked the third Saturday in a row that Trump supporters have rallied in the city. Mr Trump and other speakers at this week’s convention suggested there would be a violent, dystopian future if Democratic candidate Joe Biden wins in November – pointing to Portland as a cautionary tale for what would be in store for Americans. The pro-Trump rally’s organiser, who co-ordinated a similar caravan in Boise, Idaho, earlier in the week, said in a video posted on Twitter on Saturday afternoon that attendees should only carry concealed weapons and the route was being kept secret for safety reasons.

As they arrived in the city, protesters attempted to stop them by standing in the street and blocking bridges. Videos from the scene showed sporadic fighting, as well as Trump supporters firing paintball pellets at opponents and using bear spray as counter-protesters threw things at the Trump caravan. The shooting happened several hours after the caravan began arriving in Portland.

Some protesters have called for reductions in police budgets while the city’s mayor and some in the black community have decried the violence, saying it is counterproductive. Early on Saturday morning, fires set outside a police union building that is a frequent site for protests prompted police to declare a riot. An accelerant was used to ignite a mattress and other debris that was laid against the door of the Portland Police Association building, police said in a statement.
