UPDATE: Bricks, rocks thrown at police in Baltimore, 7 officers hurt
BALTIMORE (AP) – Police say at least seven officers have been injured in a violent clash with a large group of youths.
Capt. Eric Kowalczyk (koh-wall-check) said one officer is unresponsive and others have broken bones after people threw bricks, rocks and other items at police.
The riot occurred just hours after a funeral for Freddie Gray, who died of a mysterious spinal injury while he was in police custody.
The clash started near a shopping mall in northwest Baltimore and spread out over a wide area as a line of police officers pushed them back.
In a series of Tweets, police said they are hearing reports of groups setting fires around the area. Earlier, a photographer was shoved and kicked in the back.
