Bridge in Chicago raised due to widespread looting
From THEHILL.COM
Widespread looting and vandalism were reported by law enforcement across Chicago early Monday morning, according to local reports.
The looting reportedly began shortly after midnight as people reportedly broke store windows and swept through stores on the city's "Magnificent Mile" along Michigan Avenue while confronting officers, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Officers reported that nearly five hours into the widespread vandalism, at around 4:30 a.m., several people were stopped on Lake Street near Michigan Avenue when shots were fired from a passing car, police spokesman Tom Ahern told the Tribune.
Ahern tweeted about a police-involved shooting near Michigan and Lake around 6 a.m. He said shots were fired at police, who returned fire and said no officers were injured. He said it is “unknown at this time if offenders were shot.”
