Fireworks erupt near USC as pro-Palestinian protesters return to campus

CITYWIDE TACTICAL ALERT BECAUSE OF THE ONGOING PROTEST AT UNC CAMPUS AND THAT MEANS MANY OF THE OFFICERS IN THE AREA WILL HEAD TO THE CAMPUS AS WE HAVE SEEN IN THE LAST FEW MOMENTS. NONE OF THE OFFICERS ARE GOING HOME AT THIS POINT AS WE FIGURE OUT THE SITUATION. YOU CAN SEE FROM OUR BIRDSEYE VIEW OF LOOKS LIKE TWO OF THE PROTESTERS REMAINING CALM. >> IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE SITTING DOWN AND MOVING BACK AND TO WHERE THEY HAD BEEN TOLD TO LEAVE. YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE SOME GRAFFITI ON THE FOUNTAIN AS YOU MENTIONED THAT SOMEONE DID GRAFFITI ON THE FAMED TOMMY TURGEON'S STATUE. SO FAR I DON'T THINK WE SEE POLICE. THERE ARE JUST SOME PEOPLE RUNNING OUT BUT WE DID COUNT MORE THAN A DOZEN POLICE CARS MOVING INTO THE AREA AND WE SAW A LOT OF ACTIVITY LAST COUPLE OF MINUTES. MY GUESS IS THIS IS A VERY TENUOUS SITUATION AND IT COULD CHANGE IN A MATTER OF MINUTES SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH THE SITUATION AND BRING YOU THE LATEST OVER AND CBS AT 11. THAT IS SOME FIREWORKS THAT ONE OF OUR PHOTOGRAPHERS GOT VIDEO OUT. WE DON'T KNOW IF IT'S RELATED AT ALL. >> WE KNOW PEOPLE WERE SHOCKED BY HEARING THE FIREWORKS. >> THEY COULD HAVE THOUGHT IT
