A group of looters busted for ransacking high-end stores in Chicago were mostly college students, unemployed parents and convicted felons, according to a report.
The night of mayhem came around an hour after police shot and injured a 20-year-old man who they claim fired at them first near his home in Englewood on Aug. 10, the Chicago Tribune reported.
More than a hundred people were arrested in connection to the looting and destruction, which injured more than a dozen officers and targeted high-end stores such Gucci, Dior and Apple, the outlet reported.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot suggested that a “false rumor on social media” that police had shot a child sparked the neighborhood unrest.
