Crowds have scattered. Police seem to be demobilizing some riot squads now. Situation appears to be calming down at this time.
Today’s protest began Monday and grew to about 250 people. A march to the Rampart station was held. Problems with police appear to have started at some point after the march.
More protests said to be planned for tomorrow at the downtown Parker Center. The name of shooting victim still unreleased. Details of the shooting are still vague.
A small candle light shrine has been set up at 6th and Union, the site of the shooting.
