Much of downtown Chicago is in ruins this morning after violent mobs clashed with police and laid waste to a number of stores.
The looting happened after a suspect was injured when he shot at police officers and they reportedly returned fire.
A number of officers have been injured. Our prayers are with the police and the business owners.
Entrances and exits into downtown Chicago have been shut down as law enforcement struggles to contain the violence and unrest.
The Todd Starnes Show team is compiling video from the riots and this story will be updated.
Downtown Chicago is going up right now. They broke into all the high-end stores, they cleaned out Nordstrom, broke into the currency exchange store, throwing stuff at the police, etc. (Watch until the end) #diamondstonetv #explore @diamondstonetv #viral #Chicago pic.twitter.com/DUyIDEd1fU

A MISGUIDED GENERATION!
Imagine if you lived in downtown Chicago & paid the obscene taxes and cost of living & then this happens. Why bother anymore? Why build anything anymore? This does nothing but hurt the city as a whole. pic.twitter.com/6DmkncA697
