Rioters set fire to a multi-family residence in Virginia Sunday night while people, including a child, were inside the home, Richmond Police Chief Will Smith said at a press conference.

“Protesters intentionally set a fire to an occupied building on Broad Street,” Smith said Sunday in an emotional speech. “This is not the only occupied building that has been set fire to in the last two days.”
