Officers deploy tear gas at Courthouse Square

Officers deployed tear gas at Courthouse Square in Dayton shortly after a curfew went into effect for the downtown area and Oregon District following a day of protests.

Most crowds left the downtown area once the curfew went into effect.

Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley  announced a curfew from 9 p.m. tonight through 6 a.m. Sunday until the threat to public safety has been eliminated. She said people would be arrested if they were found on the street past the curfew.
