Around 8 p.m., the mob of teens attempted to storm into Millennium Park. However, people under 21 are not allowed access to the park without being accompanied by an adult.

Teens also reportedly attempted to force their way inside the Art Institute of Chicago in an attempted "teen takeover."

Officers from the Chicago Police Department, Chicago Fire Department, EMS, and SWAT teams were dispatched to the area.
