Patriot Prayer leaders says Portland shooting victim supported group

The man killed after Portland protesters clashed with Trump supporters was a backer of the right-wing group Patriot Prayer, it was reported Sunday.

Joey Gibson, head of the Washington state group, also described the dead man as a “good friend,” the Associated Press reported.

An AP freelance photographer who was in the area where the shooting took place Saturday night said the man who was shot was wearing a Patriot Prayer hat.

The group has clashed with Portland Black Lives Matters protesters in the past.
