A demonstrator is treated for a gunshot wound during a protest against the election of Republican Donald Trump as President of the United States in Portland, Oregon, on Nov. 12, 2016.Reuters  by [Katie Reilly](https://time.com/author/katie-reilly/)  ## Katie Reilly Nov 12, 2016 2:29 PM UTC A man was shot during a protest against President-elect Donald Trump in Portland, Oregon, early Saturday morning, as [demonstrations against his election continued](http://time.com/4567403/anti-donald-trump-protests-civil-rights/) in cities across the country. The man, who has not yet been identified, was shot as he marched across Portland’s Morrison Bridge with a crowd of other protesters, [Reuters reported](http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-protests-idUSKBN1343CO), citing police statements. He was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The suspect, who is still at large, got out of his car on the bridge, confronted the protester and shot him, [Reuters reported](http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-protests-idUSKBN1343CO). [Protests](http://time.com/4566429/trump-tower-protest-video/) have broken out across the country since Election Day, condemning Trump’s racist and sexist rhetoric about immigrants, Muslims and women, in particular. In his [first interview since the election](http://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trump-willing-to-keep-parts-of-health-law-1478895339), Trump was asked on Friday whether his campaign rhetoric went too far. “No. I won,” he told the Wall Street _Journal_. Thousands of protesters also marched or gathered at rallies in Los Angeles, Miami, Atlanta and New York City on Friday night and early Saturday morning. In Portland, police in riot gear used tear gas as they clashed with protesters, some of whom threw “burning projectiles” at officers, the Associated Press reported. Smaller protests took place in Detroit; Minneapolis; Kansas City, Missouri; Olympia, Washington and Iowa City, according to the AP. Trump on Thursday initially denounced the demonstrations as “professional protesters, incited by the media.” “Very unfair!” he [wrote on Twitter](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/796900183955095552). But hours later, his tone had shifted. “Love the fact that the small groups of protesters last night have passion for our great country. We will all come together and be proud!” Trump [wrote](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/797034721075228672). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4568788/donald-trump-protester-shot-portland/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4568788/donald-trump-protester-shot-portland/"},"headline":"Donald Trump Protester Shot During March in Oregon","datePublished":"2016-11-12T14:29:20.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T01:47:31.283Z","description":"Demonstrations against Donald Trump's election continued across the country","url":"https://time.com/4568788/donald-trump-protester-shot-portland/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election topic","oregon","Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbb9a10bb0aa871a9/6988ae3bcd1bbab6f5703143/portland-protest1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Katie Reilly","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/katie-reilly/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbb9a10bb0aa871a9/6988ae3bcd1bbab6f5703143/portland-protest1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"A demonstrator is treated for a gunshot wound during a protest against the election of Republican Donald Trump as President of the United States in Portland, Oregon","caption":"A demonstrator is treated for a gunshot wound during a protest against the election of Republican Donald Trump as President of the United States in Portland, Oregon","creditText":"Reuters","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4568788/donald-trump-protester-shot-portland/","name":"Donald Trump Protester Shot During March in Oregon"}}]}] ```
