Suspect in Portland shooting of Trump supporter KILLED during attempted arrest – reports
The suspect in a fatal shooting during a protest in downtown Portland last weekend has been killed by authorities when agents from a fugitive task force tried to serve an arrest warrant, according to several reports.
Michael Reinoehl, 48, was shot dead in a town near Seattle, Washington on Thursday night as officers from the FBI, the US Marshals Service and local police moved in to make an arrest, according to law enforcement and DOJ sources cited by the New York Times and the Associated Press.

Reinoehl was a main suspect in the slaying of a conservative activist during a political rally in Portland on Saturday night, who appeared to admit his role in the shooting in an interview with Vice News earlier on Thursday. He maintained he acted in self-defense and that he had “no choice” but to shoot, however, saying he believed the victim, Aaron ‘Jay’ Danielson, was a threat to himself and others.
