Fifteen police officers have been injured in the attack.
"Some of our injured officers from earlier have been treated & released from the hospital. Several are still being treated for injuries," the police department tweeted.
"Too many people have spent generations building up this city for it to be destroyed by thugs who -- in a very senseless way -- are trying to tear down what so many have fought for," Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake was quoted as saying by CNN.
