The unrest has erupted in Portland where police say protesters threw burning missiles at them, leaving them no option but to use force in retaliation.
Protesters had promised a peaceful rally but as the hundreds of angry activists descended on the streets chaos ensued – with assaults and vandalism across the city.
One person was shot during the protest multiple times and police said an ‘African American’ suspect was on the run.
Portland Police said: “In the early morning hours of Saturday November 12, 2016, a man was injured in a shooting on the Morrison Bridge during a protest march.
“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.
“Officers near the scene arrived quickly and provided medical aid until an ambulance arrived to transport the victim to a Portland hospital for treatment to non-life-threatening injuries.
“The suspect fled the area, likely in the vehicle described as a gray or silver sedan.
“The suspect is described as an African American male, late teens, 5’8″ tall, thin build, wearing a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans.”
