A fatal police shooting spurred a nighttime crowd that smashed windows and set fires in downtown Portland on Friday.
Fires, gunshots and broken glass set the beat for a riotous evening in downtown Portland on Friday, April 16.
Portland Police Bureau officers made multiple arrests, while Portland Fire & Rescue crews were kept busy extinguishing at least a half dozen separate blazes, including a major fire that engulfed the awning and boarded-up windows of the Pioneer Tower building immediately adjacent to the downtown Apple store.
Demonstrators gathered in the heart of the city for two events: a peaceful vigil that saw candle-bearing marchers briefly shutting down traffic on the Hawthorne bridge, and a separate direct action -style protest that gathered at Director Park.
