Philadelphia(CNN)Protesters took to the streets and bands of looters broke into businesses for a second night after officers in Philadelphia shot and killed a Black man who was holding a knife in an encounter that city officials say raises questions.

One group marched peacefully for much of the night, chanting Walter Wallace Jr.'s name and saying, "Whose streets? Our streets." But the protest turned violent near a police precinct when the large crowd encountered a handful of officers. Several people in the crowd threw rocks, light bulbs, or bricks at the police. One officer was injured, according to a CNN crew at the scene.

There was looting by other groups of people in another part of the city, according to a police tweet and video from a CNN affiliate's helicopter.


Aerial pictures from affiliate KYW showed people looting a Foot Locker and others emerging from a Walmart with televisions and other items.

"The Philadelphia Police Department is requesting that all residents in the 12, 16, 18, 19, 24, 25, and 26th Districts remain indoors except when necessary," the city's office of emergency management tweeted. "These areas are experiencing widespread demonstrations that have turned violent with looting."

Monday's shooting of the 27-year-old Wallace, caught on cell phone video, draws fresh attention to fatal use of force by police following months of protests over how officers treat Black people. The shooting and violent protests -- which left 30 officers injured -- also sharpen the focus on the swing state of Pennsylvania a week before the presidential election.

Anticipating further unrest, state and city officials had requested help from the Pennsylvania National Guard, which will be mobilizing several hundred members, according to spokesman Lt. Col. Keith Hickox.

There were 91 arrests Monday
Mayor Jim Kenney said video of the shooting "presents difficult questions that must be answered."

Outrage over the shooting in West Philadelphia set off protests by demonstrators wanting to know why less-lethal force wasn't used. But police said the officers were not equipped with Tasers.

Monday night saw violence and looting, leading to dozens of arrests and the officers' injuries, most the result of thrown objects. One officer was struck by a pickup and taken to the hospital with a broken leg and other injuries, police said.

Businesses were looted, and five police vehicles and one fire vehicle were vandalized, police said. Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said 91 people were arrested during the unrest, including 11 on charges of assaulting police and 76 for burglary.

Acting Commerce Director Sylvie Gallier Howard said the city did not ask businesses to close early Tuesday though some told officials they would do so voluntarily.

The Philadelphia District Attorney's Office is investigating the shooting jointly with the police unit tasked with investigating officer-involved shootings.

District Attorney Larry Krasner said he had watched the cell phone video and what he saw was concerning. "I would have to agree with both the police commissioner and the mayor that it presents some very serious questions that need to be answered."


Authorities said the officers were wearing body cameras. Footage has been reviewed by the mayor and police commissioner but has not been made public because it is part of an ongoing investigation, officials said.

Krasner said his office has received some of the footage, but is waiting on more.
