The civil unrest and tensions in Portland, Oregon, boiled over again Wednesday night as federal agents sprayed tear gas into a crowd that included Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler.
Wheeler, according to ABC affiliate KATU in Portland, was likely hit with the chemical agent.
"Oh, for sure, he got gassed. I was standing with him, within three feet of him," one protester told KATU. "I think it's giving him a little sampling of those of who have been out here. This is the first time I'd ever seen a mayor, or any public official, be in the depths of what was going on."
