Sunday, July 19th, 2015After several days of unrest and violence order seems to be restored to the UVA campus in Charlottesville, VA.
A riot began on the evening of the 15th following the acquittal of three Charlottesville policemen for their part in the January shooting of a student and the subsequent unrest. Angry protesters and students stormed the county courthouse and several buildings on campus.
Authorities secured the courthouse by the following morning. The last rioters were not dispersed on campus until Friday night.
Damage estimates are still being prepared.
