More than 100 arrests, 13 officers hurt amid Chicago looting
By Don Babwin
Associated Press
CHICAGO — More
than 100 people were
arrested Monday following
a night of looting and
unrest that left 13 officers
injured and caused damage
in the city’s upscale Mag-
nificent Mile shopping dis-
trict and other parts of the
city, authorities said.
Police Superintendent
David Brown said it “was
not an organized pro-
test” but instead “an inci-
dent of pure criminality”
that began following
the shooting of a person
by police the previous
day in the city’s Engle-
wood neighborhood. At
one point early Monday,
shots were fired at police
and officers returned fire.
Brown said a heavy police
presence is expected in the
downtown area until fur-
ther notice.
“This was straight up,
felony criminal conduct,”
said Chicago Mayor Lori
Lightfoot. “This was an
assault on our city.”
Those arrested were
expected to face charges
including looting, dis-
orderly conduct, battery
against police. Lightfoot
said that the city has acti-
vated a neighborhood pro-
tection program that will
be in place “for foresee-
able days until we know
our neighborhoods are
safe.”
No officers were injured
in the shooting, police
stores. Clothes hangers
and boxes that once con-
tained television sets and
other electronics were
seen — evidence that
thieves had taken racks of
clothes and removed them
from the hangers.
“This was obviously
very orchestrated,” the
Rev. Michael Pfleger, a
prominent Roman Cath-
olic priest and activist
on the city’s South Side,
told WBBM-TV as cam-
eras panned the downtown
area.
One officer was
seen slumped against a
building, several arrests
were made and a rock was
thrown at a police vehicle,
the newspaper said. Police
worked early Monday to
disperse the crowds.
There was a large
police presence Monday
morning outside an Apple
store located north of Chi-
cago’s downtown area.
Blocks away, debris was
strewn in parking lots in
front of a Best Buy and a
large liquor store.
Train and bus service
into downtown was tem-
porarily suspended at the
request of public safety
officials, the Chicago
Transit Authority said on
Twitter. Bridges over the
Chicago River were lifted,
preventing travel to and
from the downtown area,
and Illinois State Police
blocked some expressway
ramps into downtown.
Access was being restored

later Monday morning.
Chicago and its sub-
urbs, like many other
cities, saw unrest fol-
lowing the death of Floyd.
Chicago’s central business
district and its commercial
areas were shut down for
several days after violence
erupted and stores were
damaged in the wake of
marches protesting Floyd’s
death. Floyd, a Black man
who was handcuffed,
died after a white officer
pressed his knee against
Floyd’s neck for nearly
eight minutes as Floyd
said he couldn’t breathe.
In the Sunday shooting
in Englewood, police said
in a statement that they
responded about 2:30 p.m.
Sunday to a call about a
person with a gun and
tried to confront someone
matching his description
in an alley. He fled from
officers on foot and shot at
officers, police said.
Officers returned fire,
wounding him, and a gun
was recovered, police
said. He was taken to a
hospital for treatment and
three officers involved
also were taken to a hos-
pital for observation, the
statement said.
More than an hour after
the shooting, police and
witnesses said a crowd
faced off with police after
someone reportedly told
people that police had
shot and wounded a child.
That crowd eventually
dispersed.
