The Black Lives Matter riots in Minneapolis spread into St Paul on Thursday with looters filmed ramming into a Discount Tire store to break in, swarming multiple cell phone stores and setting additional businesses and cars on fire.

Another Target was looted:

Unrest has spilled into St. Paul’s Midway, where looters rushed the Target store on University Ave.
Officers responded around 11:30 a.m. & found between 50-60 ppl grabbing merchandise off the shelves, a police spokesman said. Many dropped the goods and ran when police arrived.

As I reported earlier, the only person confirmed to have been arrested so far is a pawn shop owner who shot a looter trying to rob his store.

Guess it wasn’t already looted. Store owners had been guarding with shotgun and AR. It was quiet. They packed up and left. Then cops left. Then this. pic.twitter.com/Svr9yT8gqk
