Gunfire broke out during an anti-Donald Trump protest in Portland, Oregon early Saturday and resulted in a man being hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, according to law enforcement.
The Portland Police Bureau said the incident unfolded on the Morrison Bridge early Saturday morning when an altercation occurred between protesters and the occupants of a vehicle.
“Preliminary information indicates that a suspect was in a vehicle on the bridge and there was a confrontation with someone in the protest. The suspect got out of the vehicle and fired multiple shots injuring the victim,” police said in a statement Saturday.
Neither the victim’s identity nor the name of a suspect were immediately disclosed, but police said they were searching for a possible gunman described as an African American male in his late teens wearing a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans.
Saturday’s shooting occurred toward the tail end of a protest waged in Portland several hours earlier in opposition to Donald Trump being elected the next president of the United States.
