Portland high school student demonstrating in favor of 2nd Amendment injured at gun violence protest

Portland-area students have regularly been taking part in protests to lobby for gun reform. During a school walk-out on Wednesday, a Lincoln High School student was injured while counter-protesting in favor of the 2nd Amendment.

A Lincoln High School student was hit and bloodied in the back of the head with a wooden sign-holder during a gun violence protest Wednesday, after he staged a counter-demonstration in favor of the Second Amendment, police and school officials said.

Sgt. Kevin Allen, a spokesperson for the Portland Police Bureau, said the 15-year-old was treated at the downtown Portland protest for a cut on his head and later received further medical treatment. In a message sent Thursday, Lincoln High School principal Peyton Chapman wrote that the student eventually went to the emergency room and got stitches but was able to return to school the following day.
