A crowd gathered outside a Target store in Saint Paul, Minnesota, on May 28, following looting and clashes with police in nearby Minneapolis on May 27. The unrest was sparked by the police killing of George Floyd on May 25.

Footage uploaded to Twitter shows a large gathering outside the store, with police lined up at the entrance. People disperse after an officer pepper-sprays a member of the crowd.

The night of May 27, dozens of people were seen looting a Target store near the site of a Minneapolis Floyd protest.

Protests and rioting have raged in the city since May 26, the day after video circulated on social media of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin pinning Floyd, 46, to the ground with his knee on his neck. Floyd died soon after. Credit: @leighfinke via Storyful
