Matt has the morning off. Hoda is here. What a night in baltimore. It was so chaotic and there was so much chaos overnight. You hope it calms down today. Absolutely. Theres a telling piece of video that seems to say it all. Of a mom seeing her son in the streets and saying get back inside. Well have more on that moment in just a little bit. It makes you wonder why schools are closed today. You want the kids to be somewhere. So many questions being asked. Lets get to it. It has been a night of chaos, violence lawlessness in the protests over the death of freddie gray. 15 officers injured in clashes. Right now the National Guard is on the scene trying to restore peace. As we said all Public Schools are closed today. Also a mandatory daily curfew is in place at 10 00 tonight. We have the coverage by Law Enforcement thats getting criticism. Lets start with ron allen. Good morning. Whats the latest . Reporter good morning. The latest is that baltimore is still smoldering and there are areas of the city that literally look like battlefields with glass and debris littering the streets. Thats whats left of a Community Center that was under construction. Its still smoking this morning. Firefighters just raced to the scene here to deal with more hot spots that were still burning. Its a complete loss. A very intense night here in baltimore with pockets of the city engulfed. Outrage exploding on the streets of baltimore. Police and firefighters under attack they say. Bricks and bottles flying. Fire hoses slashed. As they battle the flames and the communitys fury. This massive inferno was a center under construction. So close the orioles postponed a Major League Baseball ga this appears to be the end of the police operation. They were down at that intersection down there to secure it while the firefighters came in to put out the fire. You can see its still burning a bit. In this direction, theyre moving out of here but their night is probably not done. A violent night after a peaceful morning. Thousands at freddie gray hours later, police say the trouble started when a crowd, many of them high schoolers, squared off with police near a local mall. A protest fueled by social media. Officials blame thugs, gangs that threatened to quote, take out law enforcemen. Marylands governor sent in the National Guard. On the streets while police trying to maintain order, residents vented their grievances. More demanded to know why gray died. Its about not feeling heard. Its about the fact that freddie gray is gone. Reporter grays family pleaded for peace. I want justice for my son but dont do it like this here. Dont tear up the whole city. Its wro. Reporter but well into the night, a city of some 600,000 burn. This morning theres a very heavy Police Presence across this city. There are some 5,000 Police Officers from out of town who have come here. There are some 5,000 more National Guard troops who may be deployed on the streets of the city at some point during the day depending upon how things go. Throughout much of all this last night, the city was completely shut down. Todays schools will be closed. There will be a curfew in effect across the area at 10 00 p. M. Tonight. For now everyone here is just hoping what a night. Ron allen, thank you so much. We want to show you a map of where these clashes took place between the rioters and police. The violence bro near a mall on the west side. Then it spread towards downtown baltimore. A cvs drugstore was set on fire a Check Cashing store, a Senior Citizens center. And all of this just miles from the location where police put freddie gray into a van. While officials take action to control the situation, some are saying they waited too long to step in. Tom costello has that part of the story. Good morning. Reporter good morning. The mayor is under fire accused of perhaps encouraging some criminal activity as she seemed to misspeak over the weekend. The police are under fir moving faster last night. And for the First Time Since 1968 the National Guard is on the streets here. With baltimore in historic riots, the mayor and Police Departments are accused by some for losing control of the streets. Ive been in contact with our governor and ive requested and he has agreed to deploy the National Guard. Reporter monday Maryland Governor larry hogan seemed to suggest the mayors request came a bit late. When the mayor called me which quite frankly we were glad she finally did, instantly we signed the executive order. Reporter mayor stephanie rawlingsblake grew up balt shes been under fire for these comments when she meant to say the Police Officers were trying to give the protesters space. We also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well. Reporter to some it sounded like she was encouraging destruction. Overnight in the midst of the chaos, she tried to clarify her comments. I never said nor would i ever say that we are giving people space to destroy our city. My words should not be twisted. Reporter also the Police Department. How ditu so out of control . Stepping into the firing line a group of religious leaders who joined hands to drive the crowd back. Did you step in because you felt like the police where are losing control . Not losing it. They never had it. Reporter did the police give the street thugs too much space . Should you have given that much latitude over the last two days . I dont think we gave them much room or latitude. They just outnumbered us and outflanked us. We needed more resources there. R so the curfew going in effect tonight. 10 00 p. M. Until 5 00 a. M. Why didnt it go into effect last night in the middle of the chaos . The Police Commissioner said they didnt have the resources to enforce that curfew and nobody was listening to anybody last night in a position of authority. Back to you. Thanks a lot. Now more on the video we showed you earlier recorded by a local station as mondays violence broke out. You can see a mother disciplining her son. She was covering his face. Looked like he was takinge ingg part in the riot. She was chasing him from the scene, walked him from the parking lot and towards her car. She was trying to rip the mask off of him. And she probably like a lot of mothers have just had it with their kids. Anyway hes following her orders. At last nights News Conference baltimore Police CommissionerAnthony Batts commended her actions. You had one mother who grabbed their child who had a hood on his head and she smacked him on the head because she was so embarrassed. I wish i had more parents that took charge of their kids out there tonight. You can imagine how that mother feels. Its a dangerous situation for everybody involved. And a lot of parents cant stay home today because theyve got jobs and work and their kids have a day off. Lets turn to pastor jamal brian who took to the streets last night to try to restore order. Good morningo you. In your mind how did it go from mostly peaceful protests to a were still in a daze trying to regroup from that because yesterday we called for a moratorium that there should have been been no protesting or demonstrating at the request of the family in light of the funeral. So imagine the shock of the family coming back from the cemetery met with the news that we were in a code red, fivestar alert. And so today we are baltimore, resilient people about to rise from the ashes and move forward to rebuild and turn the page forward. Do you share this criticism that somehow the city leaders, the mayor, the police chief, the commissioner for not responding more quickly and letting this get so out of hand . Or do you feel their hands were tied . Well i really dont know what was happening at city hall or the Police Department. I do know that baltimoreans moved to go on the front lines. What has not been reported on the news is the bloods and cryps came together and signed a peace treaty. And the churches moved towards the streets. Were getting ready to go into the streets to start the rebuilding process now. But i also read there was an agreement or a rumor of an agreement among rival gangs to get together and go after police. Did you hear anything about that . We did. All of that came out strangely and eerily while we were in the funeral. So did this anonymous flier that went through about the purge on yesterday. But last night up until the wee hours of the night, pastors met with gang leaders so we can start rebuilding our community and give some safe haven. To burn down a cvs and burn down a Senior CenterCommunity Center does not reflect the legacy of freddie gray or the movement that weve been a part of over the last week. And let me ask you, pastor. You gave an passionate sermon on sunday about the injustices you think happened in this case and gave the eulogy yesterday. It was passionate as well as you led a chant for no justice no peace. My question to you is with emotions running so high do you feel like leaders such as yourself have to look at the tone and make sure that people dont take your words the wrong way and do Something Like this. No. They havent taken my words the wrong way. Number one, those looting werent in the funeral yesterday. What theyve done is taken the Police Department thats out of control the wrong way. What you have to look at is not freddie gray and isolation, but look at what the young people have seen over the past 36 months. Trayvon martin a George Zimmerman walk free. Tamia rice in ohio. You see what happened with eric gardner live on television and no Police Officer held accountable. So these young people really dont have much confidence in the legal system. And so today were trying to put them back on course to let them know that violence and justice never go together in the same sentence. Pastor i know youve been out all night trying to restore order and do your part there on the streets of the city you care so much about. Thank you for your time this morning. Appreciate it. Thank you for your interest. All right. And we are covering another major story. The crisis unfolding in nepal in the wake of saturdays tech.
