Violence escalates in Baltimore

Demonstrations in Baltimore in the wake of the death of Freddie Gray took a violent turn on Monday, morphing into large-scale riots that prompted the governor to declare a state of emergency.

The 25-year old Gray died in police custody from a severe spinal cord injury about two weeks ago and his funeral was held Monday. In the afternoon, live video shot by local news and streamed over social media started to show groups of teenagers charging toward police throwing bricks and other objects.
