Here is video recorded from a distance of the shooting.
(Real) Medics tried to save the shooting victim in downtown Portland. It is a white male contrary to what antifa journalists and accounts said about it being a black victim.
The NYT is reporting that the deceased white victim was wearing a Patriot Prayer hat. Patriot Prayer is a pro-Trump conservative group in the Portland-area. Antifa had claimed tonight that a fascist killed a black person. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/30/us/portland-trump-rally-shooting.html
The shooting victim in downtown Portland tonight had a side bag with a "blue lives matter" style flag. Many antifa on social media are celebrating his death, even though his ID is not yet known. The shooting suspect is still at-large.
Update: The shooting suspect is believed to be a white male. Early witness claims of a black victim or black shooter are not accurate. #PortlandRiots
