Riot and gunfire in Spartanburg lynching attempt
A mob of over a thousand in Spartanburg, South Carolina clashed with police and soldiers to seize John Irby, a Black man who allegedly attacked a woman. Four wounded, sheriff injured, and restaurant owner Sparks held on charges of shooting. Army troops and local guards reinforced the jail amid threats of dynamite and ongoing unrest. The incident follows broader racial tensions in a prohibition town and echoes earlier violence connected to local Black individuals.
