Massive riots and looting broke out in the middle of the night in Chicago's largest downtown area, disrupting the city.

Between midnight and 5:00 a.m. local time last night (10th), hundreds of people broke windows and looted merchandise in downtown Chicago, including high-end downtown areas.

The police said, "Mobs walked around famous luxury stores and department stores, as well as large retail stores, breaking windows or breaking doors and stealing goods," he said.

The looting people resisted by firing tear gas, stones and bottles at the riot police at the riot police, and in some areas a firefight took place when someone shot at the police.

A spokesman for the Chicago Police said, "A number of police officers were injured in the course of the riot response."

Police officials said that misinformation about the death of a suspect who was shot in the process of arresting a suspect who was shot by the police by shooting a suspect a day ago was spread, and people gathered through SNS, leading to riots and looting.

The Korean Consulate General in Chicago said, "There have been no reports of damage to Koreans yet," and urged Koreans and tourists in the Chicago area to refrain from entering the city center as much as possible after sunset.
