National Guard troops patrolled Baltimore after a black man’s death in police custody set off riots, prompting officials to impose a curfew to prevent a second night of looting and violence.
Maryland Governor Larry Hogan ordered hundreds of troops and state police into the city after protesters attacked police with rocks and bricks and set cars and buildings on fire Monday. The violence erupted after the funeral of Freddie Gray, 25, who died on April 19 after suffering spinal-cord injuries while in police custody.
