two looters dead in Philly last night
One shot attempting to loot a gun shop by the store owner (occurred inside the store)

There was a string of ATM bombings last night in Philly as well

It appears the bomber messed up eventually and fatally blew himself up

(excuse the Fox article for the last one, only source I could find)
Sounds like some more serious thieves are using this unrest as cover. The group robbing the gunshop were armed and organized, and the ATM bomber is also not your common rioter.
