Hundreds of people clashed with police in Chicago after officers shot and injured a man during a confrontation.
Lightfoot said she had talked early Monday with Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and they agreed there was no need to call in the state's National Guard.
Brown suggested that lenient treatment in Chicago to those engaged in criminal activity during the protests that followed the George Floyd police killing in Minneapolis may have emboldened the looters and vandals Monday morning. Brown said the unrest, which began shortly after midnight, was sparked by a shooting in the city's South Side hours earlier. Officers responded to a reports of a man with a gun and the 20-year-old suspect fled and pointed a weapon at police. Officers returned fire and struck the suspect, who Brown said is expected to survive.
