The incident occurred as counterprotesters demonstrated following a rally run by Patriot Prayer, a right-wing group.

A man with alleged ties to white supremacist groups has been charged with murder in the case.

The car involved in the Vancouver incident had Oregon plates, a decal of the Confederate flag and several American flags, the report said.
