    A Portland police officer ties a police line around the scene of a fatal shooting in Portland Saturday. It's the latest incident after weeks of Trump supporters clashing with counterprotesters.

    A man was fatally shot during a night of confrontations between Trump supporters and counterprotesters in Portland, Ore., on Saturday, the latest high-profile incident in a city that has seen nightly demonstrations for three consecutive months. On Sunday, city leaders denounced the violence while President Trump criticized their ability to contain it.

    Hundreds of cars participating in a pro-Trump caravan made their way through the city starting late in the afternoon, clashing sporadically with counterprotesters along the route.

    Police say they are investigating a shooting that took place shortly before 9 p.m. local time as a homicide.

    "It is still early in this investigation, and I ask everyone to give the detectives time to do their important work before. "This violence is completely unacceptable and we are working diligently to find and apprehend the individual or individuals responsible."
