 Dozens of demonstrators gathered in downtown Columbus, Ohio on April 13 to protest against recent police shootings of black men, including Deontay Wright. Local media said officers used pepper spray to disperse the crowd after they broke a lock and entered Columbus police headquarters. Mayor of Columbus Andrew Ginther said he supported non-violent protests over police shootings but that violence and destruction would not be tolerated. Deontay Wright was shot by a police officer during a traffic stop in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota on April 11.
