VIDEO: A demonstration of approximately 150 people near the site of an illegal street racing event that led to at least two people being injured by a Tacoma police officer turned destructive Sunday night. A few small fires were set at or near the intersection of South 9th and Commerce streets. Demonstrators also reportedly broke windows and vandalized buildings. Employees of South Sound 911 Records department were evacuated after windows to the building they occupy were broken. There were no arrests made during the actual demonstration, according to a spokesperson for the Tacoma Police Department. However, while monitoring the demonstration, witnesses observed three people in a secure building in the 700 block of Commerce Street who were trying to access the roof. Officers arrested two people armed with a handgun and knives. The third person remains on the loose.
