\n A driver plowed through a crowd of Black Lives Matter demonstrators in Austin, Texas and then shot dead an armed protester who confronted him, according to police and reports.<\/p>\n

The unidentified victim was thought to have been \u201ccarrying a rifle and app<\/a>roached [the] suspect\u2019s vehicle\u201d just before 10 p.m. Saturday, Austin police spokeswoman Katrina Ratliff told reporters at the scene.<\/p>\n

The car had sped through the crowd of protesters and slammed into an orange barrier before coming to a stop, witness Michael Capochiano told the Statesman.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were people around the car, yelling, and people sounding like they were frightened,\u201d Capochiano told the paper.<\/p>\n

The armed protester approached \u2014 then a shot rang out and he \u201cdropped to the ground,\u201d Capochiano said.<\/p>\n

Video posted on social media<\/a> from the same time showed protesters screaming and fleeing as an initial five shots echoed, followed by another three after a short pause, according to KVUE.<\/p>\n

Police monitoring the rally found the victim with gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead shortly after being taken to a local hospital, Ratliff said.<\/p>\n

The driver sped away, according to the witnesses, before he was detained and is \u201ccooperating with officers,\u201d Ratliff said, saying it is being treated as a homicide.<\/p>\n

The deadly shooting came as violence again broke out at protests across the country Saturday, with Seattle police declaring a riot and deploying flash bangs and pepper spray to try to clear an area previously deemed the \u201coccupied protest zone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Authorities in Portland, Oregon, also declared a riot early Sunday after protesters breached a fence surrounding the city\u2019s federal courthouse building where US agents have been stationed.<\/p>\n

In Colorado, a car drove through protesters in the suburban Denver suburb of Aurora while at least one person was shot by a protester, according to authorities. The unidentified victim was taken to a local hospital and is in stable condition.<\/p>\n

Protesters also broke windows to the courthouse and a fire was started in an office, police said. An unlawful assembly was declared and police ordered protesters to leave the area, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Protests sparked by the May 25 death of George Floyd, a black man in Minnesota who died after a white officer held him to the ground with a knee to his neck, have also highlighted other cases of fatal police violence.<\/p>\n

In Colorado, protesters have been drawing attention to the death of Elijah McClain, who was stopped by police while walking down an Aurora street in August 2019 after a 911 caller reported him as suspicious.<\/p>\n

Police placed him in a chokehold, and paramedics administered 500 milligrams of ketamine, a sedative, to calm him down. He went into cardiac arrest, was later declared brain dead and taken off life support.<\/p>\n
