Baltimore erupts in riots after funeral of black man who died in police custody

The riots broke out just blocks from the funeral of Freddie Gray and spread through much of West Baltimore in the most violent protests against police treatment of African Americans since arson and gunfire in Ferguson, Mo., last year.
