Cameron Whitten, who took part in the protest, said he saw four men get out of a car and one of them had a gun.

The group then got back in the car and after a short while, the man with the gun came back out of the car and fired ‘five or six’ warning shots into the air.

He told KATU: ‘I saw somebody fall on the ground and then they sped to the east side…. I don’t know who (the victim) is but he is conscious and breathing, he was shot near his thigh.’
