Antifa ‘killer’ shot dead after opening fire at cops during arrest

AN ANTIFA fan suspected of killing a Donald Trump supporter in Portland was killed during a shootout with US Marshals.

Michael Forest Reinoehl, 48, was shot dead after he reportedly opened fire on cops with an "assault rifle" when apprehended by the task force.

Portland police issue a warrant for Reinoehl’s arrest earlier on Thursday and tracked him down to the city of Lacey, Washington.

He was a suspect in the death of Aaron “Jay” Danielson, 39, a fervent Trump supporter and a a member of far-right group Patriot Prayer.

Reinoehl, who claims to be a US Army veteran, described himself as "100 per cent Antifa" and spoke of a coming "civil war" amid the chaos sweeping America.

He fatally shot by four officers when he ran from a parked car while carrying a weapon, police told The Olympian.

Thurston County sheriff’s Lt. Ray Brady said officers opened fire after the dad-of-two pulled out a gun.

Pierce County sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer said: "The suspect came out to the car, they attempted to put him into custody and shots were fired."

Two witnesses, Chad Smith and Chase Cutler, said the suspect left the vehicle with what appeared to be an assault rifle.

He is alleged to have fired dozens of shots at nearby unmarked SUVs and officers returned fire.

Minutes after news of the Reinoehl’s death broke, President Donald Trump tweeted to scold Portland police for not having arrested what he called the "cold blooded killer."

He tweeted: "Why aren't the Portland Police ARRESTING the cold blooded killer of Aaron 'Jay' Danielson.

"Do your job, and do it fast. Everybody knows who this thug is. No wonder portland is going to hell!"
