Witness Says Police Shot Portland Homicide Suspect Without Warning, Attempting No Arrest
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Oregon state, a witness to last week's police killing of Michael
Reinoehl says the 48-year-old anti-fascist activist did not appear to
have a gun and was not threatening officers before he was killed in a
hail of police gunfire. The witness, Nathaniel Dingess, says Reinoehl
was clutching his phone and eating candy outside an apartment complex on
September 3 when officers in two unmarked cars converged on him. Dingess
says the officers never announced themselves or gave commands before
opening fire.
