L.A. Lakers fans celebrated their NBA championship victory Sunday night (June 14) by rioting outside the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Eyewitness reports said that the police officers at the scene were being belted with rocks and bottles. There are also reports of fans starting fires, although it isn’t clear at this stage whether those fires included buildings or vehicles. One unconfirmed report says that at least one police vehicle has been set on fire. Live footage at 9:15pm local time from a local television station clearly shows rioters attacking signs and shop fronts. Police control of the area was limited, with vehicle traffic having to turn away as they approach the rioters.
