Original Toronto Star caption: Sniper bullets peppering the area forced this Negro to dive for shelter beneath a truck parked near the 10th district police station in Detroit last night as violence flared for the third consecutive night. Under cover of darkness, using hit-and-run tactics, snipers fired on police, firemen and patrolling federal troops. Many Negro residents fled the area to seek refuge in homes of friends outside the city.
