Shots fired at latest Portland riot
2020-08-06
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Shots were fired early Wednesday morning as violent mostly peaceful protests continued to rock Portland, Oregon, with demonstrators breaking into the Portland Police Association’s offices and setting it on fire.

Police declared the event a riot and said they had to use "crowd control munition" to restore order — though they said no tear gas was used.

While they were dispersing that crowd, they said shots were fired nearby in what appeared to be two separate exchanges. One vehicle was struck, but officers said they didn’t find anyone hit, and no witnesses would speak to officers about what happened.
