An Oregon man accused of killing one person and injuring five after opening fire on demonstrators in Portland has been charged with murder and other crimes, authorities say.
the confrontation erupted between an armed resident and armed protesters, but Tuesday's statement from the prosecutor's office didn't specify if the people who told Smith to leave them alone were armed.
"Officers didn't know who the shooters were, how many, where they were at," he told reporters. Lovell added that"many" witnesses were uncooperative with authorities and some took"critical" evidence from the scene. Smith's brother, Aurthur Killion, said in an interview Tuesday that his sibling had previously described having problems with protesters who Smith alleged had made threats.
Killion, who lives in Indiana, said his brother, a machinist, had grown to dislike the area so much he was saving up to leave.that Smith's political views had became increasingly hostile in recent years.
