Seattle Police said they removed one person with a gunshot wound to the abdomen at a University of Washington demonstration against a far-right commentator. People in Seattle marching against Trump had just walked to the campus where the rally against Milo Yiannopoulos was taking place Friday evening. Yiannopoulos writes for right-wing Breitbart News and is known for leading a harassment campaign that resulted in a lifetime ban from Twitter. Harborview Medical Center spokeswoman Susan Gregg said the man who was shot, believed to be in his early 20s, arrived at the hospital at 9 p.m. and that he was in surgery and in critical condition. No other details were immediately released. In Portland police used “flash- bang” grenades and tear gas Friday night to disperse a rowdy crowd. Authorities said some people in the crowd — that at one point numbered in the thousands — threw rocks, bottles, flares and “unknown liquid” at officers. The city’s entertainment district was closed following the incident. By about 9:25 p.m. the crowd dwindled to about few dozen around the city’s Pioneer Court- house Square, where earlier a small group of protesters burned American flags. At first the flag burners, many of them masked and clad in black, 211 S.E. Byers Ave., Pendleton 541-276-2211 333 E.

WORLD CITIES Hi 32 67 53 39 76 26 36 58 32 76 52 PORTLAND (AP) — A judge will let Ammon Bundy testify in the upcoming trial of seven defendants charged in the armed occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon. The leader of last year’s takeover sits in a Nevada jail, awaiting trial on charges stemming from a 2014 standoff with federal agents at his father’s ranch. U.S. District Judge Anna Brown said Friday she will work to ensure that Bundy is transferred to Portland to testify, but not if he argues the brief transfer will hurt his ability to prepare for his trial. The Oregonian/OregonLive reports that Brown wants Bundy’s time on the witness stand limited to what’s necessary. Bundy testified for three days at his trial in Portland last fall, when he and six co-defendants were acquitted of federal conspiracy and weapons charges. The second trial stemming from the 41-day occupation begins Feb. 14. EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Scien- tists at Oregon State University have sequenced the beaver genome thanks to a 2015 crowdfunding effort. The Register-Guard reports that the funding drive raised $20,001 from 103 donors. OSU used the money to pay for research on the genetic code of its mascot animal, the North American beaver.

Earlier in Seattle, protesters from Capitol Hill and Central District neighborhoods streamed downtown for an afternoon immigrant and refugee rights rally. Carrying signs that said “Fight Racism & Sexism” and “Resist Trump,” people from the earlier rallies met at Westlake Park downtown Friday afternoon. People rallied and listened to speeches before resuming a march Friday evening, blocking traffic in some downtown areas. About 200 protesters gathered on the Capitol steps in Olympia, carrying signs that included “Resist Trump” and “Not My President.” Later Olympia police reported that about 100 people marched through downtown, causing some traffic disruptions.

The Mail Tribune reports that an Oregon State Police trooper was assisting disabled motorists near Ashland on Wednesday when he identified one of the motorists as a 13-year-old Grants Pass girl who had been reported missing. Upon questioning, the 21-year-old Redding man who was with the girl admitted to police he knew the girl was only 13 when he engaged in sexual acts with her. Police say the pair met on an adult dating website. The man faces four felony counts of sexual abuse and one count of unlawful sexual penetration. Dave Killen/The Oregonian via AP had trouble because of the rain, but using lighter fluid they torched at least half a dozen flags. An ember briefly fell on the jacket of one participant but the fire was quickly put out. The crowd in Portland then marched through downtown. Later, police announced the protest had become unlawful after some were seen armed with clubs and sticks and were throwing unknown liquid at officers. Police said five people were arrested during the evening protests in Portland. Earlier in the day, police arrested another man who was wanted in connection with a November protest-turned-riot. When Billy Ellison, 18, was arrested he had a torch, knife and gas mask, police said. He was booked into jail on two Filbert, who lives at the Portland Zoo. OSU researchers say they discovered that beavers have 26,200 genes, or about 33 percent more inheritable information that humans have. OSU says the project was done in a spirit of fun but could also lead to scientific advances by providing insights into beaver populations, diseases and evolutionary history. Man arrested after being found with missing Oregon teen Police deploy a chemical irritant and flash bang grenades at the intersection of Southwest Morrison and 5th Avenue as a crowd marches through the streets of Portland, following Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration, Friday.
