College Football Hall of Fame Damaged During Atlanta Protests

Following the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers on Monday, demonstrations have broken out across the country. As many marched the streets in Atlanta, protesters broke in windows at the downtown College Football Hall of Fame, according to a report from Eric Stirgus of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Before law enforcement arrived on the scene, people were seen looting the building, per Stirgus' report. Several protesters reportedly threw trash cans and other objects through the building's exterior, and some ran inside to take items.

Blayne Alexander, a reporter for NBC News, took video of the damaged building:
