Riots left charred cars and buildings, hospitalised police officers and looted and damaged business in Baltimore. A community centre and flats owned by the Southern Baptist Church were burnt down before firefighters could contain the flames. ‘We’re going to rebuild. We’re going to come back strong from this,’ the church’s pastor Donte Hickman told local media outlets. The Southern Baptist Church fire was one of many the Fire Department battled with riots erupted throughout the city following the funeral of Freddie Gray, a young black man who died of injuries sustained after his arrest for ‘catching the eye' of a lieutenant and running away. Six officers were suspended and a criminal inquiry into Gray’s death is under way but all schools were closed on Tuesday, after a day and night that saw hundreds of arrests, 144 vehicle, and 19 structure fires.
