Clashes among protesters erupted late Friday evening following a vigil held for a Black man shot and killed by police Thursday in a city near Portland, Ore.
According to
The Associated Press, hundreds of people had gathered for a vigil in Hazel Dell, an unincorporated area of Vancouver, Wash., where family and friends say Kevin Peterson Jr., 21, was shot Thursday night.
Clark County Sheriff Chuck Atkins
said in a statement Friday that a joint city-county narcotics task force was conducting an investigation in the city located about 12 miles north of Portland Thursday evening, which led to the chase of a man into the parking lot of a bank.
According to Atkins,
"the man reportedly fired his weapon at the deputies. The deputies returned fire and the subject was tragically killed," adding that a firearm was later recovered at the scene.
While authorities have themselves not yet named the person who was shot Thursday, Kevin Peterson Sr. told
The Oregonian/OregonLive that the person was his son, Kevin E. Peterson Jr.
On Friday, as hundreds of people gathered for a vigil, tensions erupted nearby with clashes between left- and right-wing protesters, according to the AP.
