Streets in Baltimore looked like a war zone Tuesday morning after a night of riots, fires and heartbreak.

"Too many people have spent generations building up this city for it to be destroyed by thugs who '" in a very senseless way '" are trying to tear down what so many have fought for,' Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said.

President Barack Obama spoke on the rioting Tuesday.Buildings and cars across the city were engulfed in flames. About a dozen businesses were looted or damaged. At least 15 officers were wounded, six of them seriously, the police commissioner said.
