the bad people. they re not covering the good people trying to help this community and do the right thing, not covering protests that are valid. we re just focussing on protests and looting and violence. i think that s the problem. they feel this is not an approach of saying who the city is. stand by joy. let s listen in to the police chief. it s a part of public safety today. chief, are you concerned or do you expect any of those people during the evening hours to we are concerned and preparing for that. we experienced last night two burglaries where officers immediately entered the building and arrested the individuals. we experienced no other circumstance last night. there was nothing in baltimore county last night. it was a peaceful night. let me clarify the fact there
hourly briefings from now until 9:00 tonight to update you. justin, i ll look into that. if we have anything more on that i ll put that out. again, captain eric kowalzcyk. we re just listening to the baltimore city police office give an update on what s taking place right now, he wanted to thank the local state regional partners as well as the national guard and said their area of interest for keeping the city under control and not seeing a rehash of the chaos last night is to make sure that the certain areas and where we saw instances of chaos break out that they have heavier police presence there but also there are other areas of interest that they have under investigation. he pointed out there were 20 officers that were injured, some of which did not want to come off the line. he said they wanted to stay with
freddie s family specifically his mom is reacting to what s being done what people would say is being done in his name? obviously the family is still grieving just yesterday. the gray family asked for peace following his burial and unfortunately they didn t get that. we all saw the rioting and looters last night, which does a disservice to the message that the family would like to get out, which is seeking justice for mr. gray and to continue or to maintain calm. that is the catalyst that brought us to this situation was the fact that freddie gray was taken into custody on april the 12th allegedly receiving such severe injuries that he died from a coma in a coma a week later. we are expected to have a report that is going to be released on the death of freddie gray on the
we re awaiting a news conference from baltimore police expected to begin coming up during this hour. they had said it will start right at 2:00. we will keep an eye on that and take it to you live as soon as it starts. meanwhile on the other side of your screen you re looking at live images as protesters gather for more demonstrations today. this coming after protests turn very violent last night. some people would say they aren t even protesters just looters and bad actors taking advantage of a crisis here in the city. this after a very peaceful and beautiful community service and funeral for 25-year-old freddie gray. now, baltimore county officials gave an update on the situation from the city to the county. what is happening now has nothing to do with freddie gray. it has to do with on tunists who are out there to commit a crime. and we will not tolerate criminal activity here in
