Michael Reinhoehl, the Antifa militant who admitted to fatally shooting Trump supporter Aaron “Jay” Danielson, was shot dead by members of a law enforcement task force that was sent to arrest him, last night.
The New York Times reported that an arrest warrant had been issued for Reinoehl early on Thursday. Reinoehl had fled Oregon. The task force tracked his movements to a location outside of Olympia, Washington where the confrontation took place.
According to early reports, as federal agents moved in to make the arrest Reinoehl exited his vehicle armed with a semi-automatic rifle and began firing on police. Eyewitness accounts said they heard up to fifty shots fired before law enforcement responded in kind…
(The Post Millennial) Witnesses at the scene cited an unmarked SUV parked on School Street when the vehicle converged with another on the car at the apartment.
The suspect reportedly exited his car and fired what was believed to be an assault rifle at the SUVs. Bystanders noted hearing 40 or 50 shots, then officers returned fire, hitting Reinoehl.
It appears that Reinoehl was determined to not be taken into custody alive as he exited his vehicle and unloaded a barrage of gunfire on the members of the task force.
Officers from the Department of Corrections, Pierce County Sheriff’s Department, and the Lakewood Police Department were reported to have returned fire following the suspect’s initial and prolonged salvo.
Michael Forest Reinoehl, who killed Portland Trump supporter Aaron Danielson, died in Lacey, Wash. My sources are telling me U.S. Marshalls went to arrest him.

Following the shooting members of the task force worked to revive Reinoehl, to no avail.
