Around midnight Monday, June  1, continuing into the early morning hours of June 2, a mob of about 200-300 people gathered in front of Providence Place Mall and quickly became violent. About 100  people broke into the mall, broke windows and looted 12 stores before the police chased them out and arrested a number of them. People through bricks at police, who dispersed people with tear gas. As people ran away they caused damage to many stores and looted some, especially shoe and jewelry stores. 65+ people, mostly Rhode Islanders and most under 30, were arrested.
