Stores Begin Cleanup Process After Vandals Go On Spree In Shadyside

SHADYSIDE (KDKA) – Businesses were boarding up and cleaning up Saturday after a night of vandalism led to dozens of smashed windows along Shadyside's upscale shopping district.

Surveillance video shows a group of marchers on Walnut Street Friday night as they remembered a man who died.

But suddenly, some of them put on masks and smashed store-front windows with baseball bats, poles and hammers.

"We were busy last night, when they were – the store was full of people. Customers were shocked, luckily nobody got injured, I mean, it's surprising," said Ravi Reddy, owner of Jitters Café.

"Everybody's really disappointed that something like this would happen and everyone feels badly for those businesses who were affected," John Henne, owner of Henne Jewelers. "I've walked up and down the street to see it and it's awful."

The vandals caused thousands of dollars in damage to at least seven businesses – stores owned by corporations like Apple, Sephora and GNC.

The windows are boarded up today.

So far, no one has been arrested.
