[KOMONews] LACEY, Wash. — A man suspected by police of fatally shooting a Trump supporter in downtown Portland last weekend was killed in Lacey Thursday night when authorities tried to arrest him during a traffic stop. A spokesperson for the Pierce County Sheriff's Department said officers responded to a home in Lacey to find a suspect believed to be involved in Aug. 29's fatal protest shooting in Portland. Authorities said the suspect exited the house and got into a vehicle when officers tried to stop the car. Shots were fired and the suspect was killed in the gunfire, authorities said. No officers were injured in the shooting. SUSPECT IN PORTLAND SHOOTING KILLED The fatal shooting comes less than a week after Aaron "Jay" Danielson died from a gunshot wound to the chest Saturday near Southwest 3rd Avenue and Alder Street as a large group of protesters and counter-protesters were moving throughout the area. Officers arrived on-scene to find Danielson with a gunshot wound to the chest but he was later pronounced dead. Police said the shooting happened shortly after a caravan of President Donald Trump supporters was reportedly leaving the city. Earlier in the evening, a pro-Trump rally gathered at the Clackamas Town Center and held a procession through downtown Portland. The group was met by counter-protesters supporting Black lives. |

#3 Not really. You actually have to be wearing a hat to be a right wing activist. |
