Police had to use tear gas and smoke canisters. At one point, gunshots were heard, glass in the stores and cars broken, and there was an attempt to try and overturn a police car. Some cars were set on fire - possibly police cars.
In spite of the fact that there was some trouble, it appears that at least some of the trouble was being incited by outsiders - who wore masks. Others in the crowd were trying to calm down the crowds and get them to stop causing trouble and keep it peaceful.
