Portland shooting suspect killed, Marshals Service confirmed

 Portland shooting suspect killed, Marshals Service confirmed.

A man suspected by police of fatally shooting a Trump supporter in downtown Portland last weekend was killed by law enforcement officials in the state of Washington on Thursday night when they tried to arrest him, the U.S. Marshals Service confirmed.

Aaron “Jay” Danielson, 39, died from a gunshot wound to the chest Saturday, Aug. 29, near Southwest 3rd Avenue and Alder Street. Danielson had been part of a pro-Trump caravan that drove into Portland.

The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office told KATU's sister station in Seattle, KOMO News, that the suspect came out of an apartment in Lacey, Washington, got into a vehicle and that shots were fired during a traffic stop. The suspect was killed in the gunfire, authorities said. No officers were injured in the shooting.

The sheriff's office confirmed it had members involved in a federal task force looking for the suspect in the Portland shooting.

Authorities went to the home around 7:30 p.m.

The U.S. Marshals Service identified the suspect as 48-year-old Michael Reinoehl.

It said the Portland Police Bureau issued a warrant for Reinoehl's arrest earlier in the day and had asked U.S. marshals to find him and arrest him.

U.S. marshals said Reinoehl pulled a gun on law enforcement and was shot and killed by members of the task force. Reinoehl died at the scene.

It was not immediately known whether Reinoehl fired a weapon.

During a news conference, a spokesman with the Thurston County Sheriff's Office gave details of what happened.

"There was a confrontation between the officers that were on scene and the subject," said Lt. Ray Brady with the Thurston County Sheriff's Office. "The information we have at this time is that the subject was armed. There was shots that were fired into the vehicle, and the subject fled from the vehicle at which time there was additional shots that were fired.

The U.S. marshals' Fugitive Apprehension Team, made up of officers from several agencies in the area, were doing surveillance of Reinoehl.

Four members of that team fired a weapon, said Brady.

The Thurston County Sheriff's Office will lead the shooting investigation.

Neighbors said there were about two dozen gunshots over a two- to three-minute period of time.

Bullets struck nearby buildings. No one was injured.

Four tropical disturbances, depression this week

 Four tropical disturbances, depression this week. We’re almost to the peak of hurricane season, and right on cue, we’re watching four new disturbances in the Atlantic Basin. Two of which have a high chance of becoming a depression this week. The front-runner is INVEST-92L, which is producing a disorganized cluster of storms this morning. 92L is expected to push off to the west-northwest in the central Atlantic over the next several days, where conditions will be favorable for it to become a tropical depression or storm. The  National Hurricane Center gives this disturbance a high 90% chance of development over the next 5 days. Behind 92L, a vigorous tropical wave is forecast to push off the west African Coast today. A tropical depression is likely to form by the middle of next week as it pushes westward across the eastern tropical Atlantic. Right now, the National Hurricane Center is giving it a high 80% chance of development over the next 5 days. Computer models are bul...

Flying-V airplane maiden flight, day bring travelers in its wings

 Flying-V airplane maiden flight, day bring travelers in its wings. Researchers have actually carried out a successful maiden flight of the  Flying-V , a futuristic and fuel effective airplane that might one day bring travelers in its wings. The Flying-V’s special style puts the  passenger cabin , the freight hold and the fuel tanks in the wings, and professionals hope that the aircraft’s aerodynamic shape will cut fuel usage by 20% compared to today’s airplanes. Experts evaluated a 22.5 kg and 3-meter scale design of the futuristic airplane, established by scientists at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and partner Dutch airline company KLM, to take the extremely prepared for airplane along its next developmental actions. A group of scientists and engineers evaluated the airplane at a secured airbase in Germany, where they dealt with an Airbus group to check departures, maneuvers and methods, and landing. “One of our worries was that the aircraft mi...
