Police detained two people Sunday after a single gunshot was reportedly fired at a protest encampment area near a federal courthouse. It was unclear if the shooting was related to the protest.

PORTLAND, Oregon — Police detained two people Sunday night after a single gunshot was reportedly fired at a protest encampment area near a federal courthouse that has for more than a week been the site ofbetween activists and federal officers. It was unclear if the shooting was related to the protest.

"As police were securing the scene a person arrived at a hospital by private vehicle with an apparent gunshot wound, non-life threatening. That person seems to have been associated with the incident," police officials saidPolice officials also said they discovered a bag in the protest area Sunday night containing loaded rifle magazines and Molotov cocktails.

Thousands of protesters have flocked to the streets surrounding the federal courthouse each night for nearly two months since the death of George Floyd on Memorial Day in Minneapolis, and while federal agents protecting the courthouse have been subjected to barrages of fireworks, bottles and flaming garbage, violence between protesters has been limited.

Portland police declare riot as demonstrators attack fence outside federal courthouseConfrontations between activists and federal officers have escalated for more than a week, with protesters throwing objects at the officers. Lol. We're still claiming these riots are about racial justice eh? Keep on shilling These are not 'demonstrations against racial injustice,' no matter how many times you media parrots pretend they are. This is a coordinated, organized, and funded effort to tear this country apart, making good employ of the useful idiots like keen Marxists always do. Fake news trying to spin this.

Portland: Big protest crowds again over US agents' presenceThousands of people gathered in Portland, Oregon, for another night of protests Saturday as demonstrations over George Floyd’s killing and the presence of federal agents sent by President Donald Trump showed no signs of abating. Riots you mean? Nothing to do with George Floyd, stop using his name to explain why WHITE far left anarchists are trying to burn down federal buildings Lol this has nothing to with George Floyd’s killing. It has everything to do with a putrid hatred of America and a romantic love for Marxism.
