Baltimore continues to recover from Monday night's riots, and on Wednesday, some normalcy may be restored.
City school students will return to class, the Orioles will play, and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra is holding a free concert.
Police arrested 10 people a variety of charges, including looting and disorderly conduct, including seven for breaking the newly instituted citywide curfew after it began at 10 p.m. Tuesday, Police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts said. A group faced off with police in West Baltimore.
Five people were shot a 42-year-old man fatally, in the city over the course of the day and night. Police did not attribute the shootings to the week's civil unrest.
The post-curfew arrests were in addition to the 235 during the riots Tuesday that prompted Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake to announce the weeklong curfew and Gov. Larry Hogan to declare a state of emergency and request the U.S. National Guard to assist in policing the city.
The justice system was straining under the sheer number of arrests.
Baltimore Circuit Court will open Wednesday but district courthouses will remain closed due to the state of emergency, officials said. The Patapsco Avenue location will open at 9:30 a.m. for bail reviews only.
Liberal leave is in effect for state employees in Baltimore.
City schools will reopen today, and school officials said in a letter to parents that teachers would be "planning activities that will help students learn from the past days' events
Johns Hopkins University and Coppin State said campuses will operate on a normal schedule Wednesday.
At least one officer was injured in a South Baltimore skirmish Tuesday night with rock- and bottle-throwing residents Tuesday, Batts said. He did not have further information on the conditions of any of the 15 officers injured in the riots Monday.
Critics questioned the delay in calling the National Guard. Gov. Larry Hogan said Rawlings-Blake was slow to return his phone calls; she did not directly respond to his complaint.
The first major outbreak of violence in the week of protesting over the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray from a severe spinal cord injury he sustained in police custody happened after protesters and police clashed outside Oriole Park at Camden Yards Saturday. Fans were held inside the ballpark while police cleared the area.
Due to the violence, the Orioles postponed Tuesday night's game against the Chicago White Sox and will play Wednesday in an empty Camden Yards, as the game will be closed to the public. The upcoming series against Tampa Bay will be played in St. Petersburg, Fla.
While the baseball game is closed off to spectators, members of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra are planning a free concert at noon on Wednesday outside the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall "in support of our community."
Ray Lewis decried the violence in a video message and said he plans to skip this week's NFL Draft to calm violence. Other current and former Baltimore Ravens commented on the weekend's events.
Some residents cleaned up after Monday's riots at North and Pennsylvania avenues, near a CVS store that was looted and burned. Tow trucks removed torched vehicles from the area.
Rival gang leaders have come together with city and religious leaders to encourage peace. Some city and religious leaders say that outreach is essential in a crisis. Criminologists say they shouldn't lend legitimacy to the groups.
The extent of the rioting's economic impact might not be known for awhile, but businesses are vowing to rebuild, and are getting a head start by cleaning up.
The city's rioting has evoked memories of widespread unrest in Baltimore in 1968, spawned by the death of Martin Luther King Jr.
More protests are planned for this weekend. Washington-based attorney and organizer Malik K. Shabazz announced a "massive national rally" to take place Saturday. The Rev. Jamal H. Bryant of the Empowerment Temple church said another will take place at City Hall Sunday at 3 p.m.
