big 'ol red state of tennessee: I-24 shut down as protesters block roadway [View all]
NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) -
Protesters shut down Interstate 24 in both directions twice Tuesday evening.
Dozens of people gathered at the Criminal Justice Center Tuesday evening for a vigil following Monday's announcement in Ferguson, MO, that Ofc. Darren Wilson would not be charged in the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown.
The vigil turned into a march as people headed to Broadway. Police blocked streets as the protesters lied down in the roadway for a moment of silence.
The protesters then made their way to LP Field and onto I-24 near Woodland Street.
