Portland Trump protesters
burn flags; one shot in Seattle
PORTLAND (AP) — Police
used incendiary devices to disperse
a crowd in Portland and a man
was shot and critically wounded in
Seattle as protests Friday against the
inauguration of President Donald
Trump turned violent.
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,

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.
The project used a blood
sample from the 5-year-old 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.

MEDFORD (AP) — A
runaway teen has been found and
the Northern California man she
was with has been arrested on sex
crime charges in southern Oregon.
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.
