Portland saw its first gun battle with Antifa and it ended exactly how you would have expected
According to Portland Police:
On Sunday, August 22, 2021 at 5:47p.m., Central Precinct officers responded to a report of shots heard in the area of Southwest 2nd Avenue and Southwest Yamhill Street. Officers learned of a suspect firing a gun, a description, and a direction of travel. Three minutes later they located the suspect at Southwest 3rd Avenue and Southwest Alder Street. He was arrested and a gun was seized as evidence (photo). Officers booked Dennis G. Anderson, 65, of Gresham, into the Multnomah County Detention Center on charges of Unlawful Possession of a Firearm and Unlawful Use of a Weapon.
Apparently, the man was stalked by armed Antifa before the shooting started.
Before the shootout in downtown Portland yesterday, the man was followed & had pistols pointed at him. Don’t know what led up to this & what happened between this & shoot out. The older man was arrested & antifa stole the bullet casings from their side. pic.twitter.com/9MOCMtbmAf

You can see in this video that he was shot at (note the bullet impact on the wall behind him).

Around the 16 second mark, you can briefly see the at-large antifa shooter. This is part of the shootout that happened in downtown Portland on 22 Aug. Antifa say they went to save black children from a white man who talked about lynchings. https://t.co/4kB5v7zGiV

It also appears that another person = presumably associated with Antifa based on how he is dressed – was going to get involved in the shooting but decided not to. Probably due to seeing all the cameras pointed in his direction.

Antifa swooped in to pick up the brass and clean up the evidence from their side.
Portland Police claim to be looking for the Antifa shooter:
Investigators have confirmed that there was at least one more shooter during this incident, and they’re requesting help from witnesses to help locate those involved persons.
The Enhanced Community Safety Team (ECST) is investigating this shooting and has recovered evidence of at least one other gun being fired. They believe a group of people may have been pursuing Anderson shortly before the gunfire started. They’re working to determine if there were any potential victims and/or suspects in that group.
But given the totality of the situation – how Portland Police have dealt with Antia in the past and how systematic and organized Antifa is – I suspect that nothing will come of this side of the investigation.
Antifa can stalk people with guns.
If you shoot at Antifa in (presumably) self-defense, you will get nailed to the wall when they get off.
Antifa own the streets as long as the government is aligned with them.
