Slain shooting suspect was a regular at Portland protests

PORTLAND, Ore. — The man believed to have fatally shot a supporter of President Donald Trump following skirmishes between Black Lives Matter protesters and a pro-Trump caravan in Portland, Oregon, was a regular at the demonstrations that have roiled the Northwest city for months. The arrest attempt came shortly after Reinoehl gave an interview to VICE News in which he appeared to acknowledge having killed Aaron “Jay” Danielson, 39, on Saturday. “I jumped in there and pulled the gun away from people’s heads, avoided being shot in the stomach and I got shot in the arm.” He added: “It’s escalating to a point where they’re trying to disrupt us in every way that’s illegal. It’s terrible.. It’s warfare.” Reinoehl was also wanted on a warrant out of Baker County in eastern Oregon, where court records show he skipped a hearing related to a June case in which he has been charged with driving under the influence of controlled substances, reckless driving, reckless endangerment and unlawful possession of a firearm. “She’s going to be contributing to running this new country that we’re fighting for.” In court documents released late Friday authorites say it appeared Reinoehl texted his son on Aug. 7 and wrote: “Sell me the gun for a quarter pound of weed and $100.I need a piece now.” Reinoehl wrote on his Facebook page that he was a professional snowboarder for Deviation, a Portland ski and snowboard company, and he posted several videos of himself and his son snowboarding.
