Riots in Baltimore After Freddie Gray Funeral
Baltimore was in chaos today when riots erupted after the funeral of Freddie Gray, a young African American who died in police custody.
Gray's family was shocked by the violence... they hoped to organize a peace march later in the week, said family attorney Billy Murphy. He said they did not know the riot was going to happen and urged calm.
"They don't want this movement nationally to be marred by violence," he said. "It makes no sense."
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan declared a state of emergency in Baltimore and activated the National Guard.
