A mob of about 1,500 young people hurling bottles and insults at more than 80 police officers was dispersed with tear gas in the second night of rioting at Colorado State University’s annual College Days celebration in Fort Collins, police said. A police spokesman said 68 people were arrested throughout Saturday evening and early Sunday. Charges included drunken driving, assault, inciting a riot and participating in a riot. Hospital officials said about 40 people were treated for mostly minor injuries. Police said no officers were injured. Officials say there is no apparent reason why the celebration got out of hand.
