BREAKING: White House under lockdown as protest outside grows

This is the fourth night of protests that have seen the burning of a police precinct in Minneapolis, among other structures, looting of shops, destruction of vehicles, and numerous arrests. One man was killed during the eruption of violence in Minneapolis, where the inciting incident occurred.

The Secret Service could be see pushing protesters back outside of the White House as demonstrators broke barricades, and the press has been kept inside for their own safety.

Protests are rocking the United States tonight. Brooklyn, Manhattan, Memphis, Atlanta, Denver, Minneapolis, Houston, Los Angeles, Louisville, and Washington DC have all experienced mass convergences of people in public spaces.

Protesters turned to vandals in Washington, DC, when a man jumped up onto a building to spray paint obscenities in opposition to the president.

This is a breaking story and will be updated.
