Riot declared after police kill man

-

Police in Portland, Oregon, said they arrested four people after declaring a riot Friday night when protesters smashed windows, burglarize­d businesses and set multiple fires during demonstrat­ions that started after police fatally shot a man while responding to reports of a person with a gun. Police said they dispersed the crowd so firefighti­ng crews could douse fires before they spread in extreme fire hazard conditions. The vandalism downtown came after the police shooting earlier Friday and also was part of vigils and demonstrat­ions already planned for the night in the name of people killed in police shootings nationwide. They include 13-yearold Adam Toledo of Chicago and Daunte Wright, a Black man in a Minneapoli­s suburb.
