Community "witnesses" are claiming that an unarmed black barber was walking home from work when a Chicago PD officer shot him in the back as he was running away.
Other "witnesses" said that the man had a gun, but it was okay for the man to have a gun, because he had a concealed carry permit.
It's not clear if any of these witnesses actually witnessed the shooting.
Almost immediately after the shooting, a crowd gathered and started threatening to shoot the police officers.
At least one person started jumping on police cars.

According to police, officers on foot patrol in the 2000 block of East 71st Street stopped 37-year-old Harith Augustus around 5:30 p.m. Saturday to question him over a "bulge around his waistband" that suggested he was armed. After he broke free from the officers, police said, he "appeared to be reaching for a weapon," so they shot him.
In the video, several officers appear to arrive as Augustus interacts with officers already on the scene. Three officers then attempt to grab him by the wrists, but he breaks away. The edited video then zooms in on Augustus' waist, which appears to show a holster, gun and magazine of ammunition on his waist when his shirt briefly flies up. The video then slows, and appears to show Augustus running into the street before reaching toward his waistband. Thats when an officer opened fire.

The shooting happened around 5:30 p.m. at 2098 E. 71st St., and it took police about five hours to bring things under control. Some people screamed murderers as officers lined up against them. Some in the crowd held cameras up to take video, while others behind them threw rocks and glass bottles, some filled with urine.
As officers tried to contain the crowd, some of them dragged people to the ground or struck them with batons. Other officers held batons over their heads to ward off people yelling at them.
Sun-Times reporter said he was hit by officers who rushed a parking lot. I have my press badge on and identified myself as a reporter, but I got shoved to the ground by two cops who smacked my phone out of my hand, tweeted Nader Issa.
Four officers were injured from rocks and thrown bottles, he said. Four demonstrators were arrested. Two squad cars sustained minor damage.
Over the course of the next three hours, their chants included No justice, no peace, Aint no justice in this town, How you spell racist? CPD and Cops and crime go hand in hand. Legal observers with the National Lawyers Guild wore bright green baseball-style hats, hanging back and keeping an eye on the demonstration.
