Police said the scene was chaotic. Witnesses refused to cooperate, and people shared on social media to delete all posts, videos, and images from the night to avoid speaking with law enforcement. Accusations swirled online, saying this was a planned attack. Rumors also pointed fingers at Antifa as the instigators and causing the violence.
Portland Police tried to hold a press conference but couldn’t continue due to disruptions in the crowd. Eventually, they held a teleconference and said the issue appears to have been a clash between a homeowner and protestors. All parties had firearms. Lieutenant Nathan Sheppard confirmed the investigation is ongoing.
