Tucson Riots

Arizona's dream for a national championship turned into a nightmare on April 2nd.

Rubber bullets, fires and broken windows overshadowed the supportive crowd of Wildcat fans on Fourth Avenue when nearly 500 police officers - outfitted with bullet-proof shields and nightsticks - broke up rioting and looting.

More than 2,000 Arizona fans - who watched the UA men's basketball game in bars along North Fourth Avenue - started out cheerful and spirited, even after UA's 82-72 loss to Duke University.

At least five cars were turned over, and a trailer was set on fire just after 10 p.m. at the corner of North Fourth Avenue and East Eighth Street.
