May 3, 1886 - At Haymarket Square in Chicago, a rally was being held because of a strike at the McCormick Harvester plant, just two days after an enormous May Day turnout. Though the mass meeting was peaceful, a force of 176 police officers arrived, demanding that the meeting disperse. Someone, unknown to this day, then threw a bomb at the police.
In their confusion, the police began firing their weapons in the dark, killing at least three in the crowd and wounding many more. Seven police died (only one by the bomb), the rest probably by police fire.

Haymarket Square at night - one of the few good things about this bland, modern imposition on the area is at least it has this tunnel betwen buildings to shortcut to Morrison St instead of marching around https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/53566134760/in/dateposted/
