The Trump march came out of one of the city's suburbs where about 600 vehicles that were heading toward downtown Portland gathered. When they reached their destination, the black protesters waited for them in the nearby streets and burned posters of the presidential election campaign. In response, supporters sprayed them with pepper spray and fired paintballs at them.

The incident came two days after the president's speech on the last evening of the Republican convention, where he listed the city as a "liberal place run by violence," as part of his election campaign to restore "law and order." This is the third consecutive Saturday that a Trump support parade is being held in the city.

Simultaneously with the shooting incident, protesters set fires near the local police building, prompting forces to declare a state of emergency. In the months since George Floyd's killing of a police officer in Minneapolis, there have been many riots in the city.
