Large crowds clashed with police as rioters vandalized stores in downtown Chicago, with officers returning shots after being targeted by gunfire. More than 100 people were arrested and 13 officers wounded as rioters smashed windows and looted high-end stores.
Local media said law enforcement was unsure what had sparked the unrest, which came after a reported police shooting in the city’s Englewood neighborhood. Protests over racism and police killings have erupted across the U.S. in recent months.
The Chicago Transit Authority suspended all train and bus services to the downtown area at the request of public safety officials. Bridges that lead into the city were also raised to limit access.
