Calm Follows Disturbances After Teen Shooting
Mayor James H. Granberry declared a citywide curfew from 10 50 pm to 6 30 am as violence erupted after the shooting death of a 16 year old at Dunbar High School. Police were ordered to arrest those unable to prove a legitimate reason for being out. A police officer was struck, a police car damaged, and a warehouse fire reported. District authorities said schools would remain open and a later march on the police department sparked further clashes before the curfew was set. Authorities reported several arrests but no official death toll.
