Philadelphia will be under a curfew from 9 p.m. Wednesday until 6 a.m. Thursday, the city announced, confirming an earlier Inquirer report. The announcement comes after two nights of unrest in response to the fatal police shooting of Walter Wallace Jr., a 27-year-old Black man whose family said he was suffering a mental health crisis.
“Grocery stores, restaurants and pharmacies may, in their discretion, choose to operate only for delivery services later than 9 p.m.," the city said in a statement, "and should implement appropriate measures to secure their facilities and protect onsite and delivery employees.”
