According to the New York Post, one of the attendees was arguing with BLM protestors then pepper-sprayed a security guard who protected local reports from NBC affiliate 9News. Shortly after, the security guard shots the man at point-blank range. Authorities say it is unclear which movement he was a part of but assumed he was a member of Antifa due to his all-black outfit and American flag bandana.
Both the victim and the security guard were white and Denver police will charge him with homicide.
The right wing extremist first struck the security guard in the face, then tried to bear spray him.
