Tensions rising at protest in Northwest Indiana
By Michael PuentePolice in Northwest Indiana have fired tear gas after surrounding about 200 protesters in a major retail district off U.S. 30 in Hobart, Indiana. Nobody has been arrested.
“At some point, we will need to take action to disperse the crowd because of their violent and destructive intent,” Lake County, Indiana Sheriff Oscar Martinez said.
Earlier in Hobart, police reported looting at a strip mall. One police officer was injured.
