An anti-Trump protester has been shot after a confrontation with another man as another night of demonstrations against the President-elect took place in US cities.
Police in Portland, Oregon, said the man got out of his vehicle on the city's Morrison Bridge where he confronted and shot the protester.
Dozens of people were crossing the bridge when the shooting happened at 12.45am.
The victim does not have life-threatening injuries but the suspect is still at large, said police.
There has so far been no comment on the reasons behind the shooting.
Portland - where a "riot" took place on Thursday night - again saw some of the worst outbreaks of violence.
Protesters blocked traffic and threw objects at police, who hit back with 'flash-bang' grenades and pepper spray.
Demonstrations at the shock US election result also took place in New York's Washington Square, where at least 1,200 people gathered carrying banners and chanting.
In Miami, several thousand people took to the streets, and hundreds marched in Los Angeles where they swarmed onto highways and chanted "We reject the President-elect" and "Whose streets? Our streets".
The protests have mainly been made up of young people - and more are planned this weekend in at least half a dozen other cities.
