Chicago Police respond to clash between protesters at DePaul University

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Tensions continue to run high at college campuses across the country as students protest Israel's war in Gaza. On Sunday, clashes erupted at DePaul as pro-Palestinian protesters were met with counter-pro-Israel protesters. At one point, school administrators called Chicago Police to intervene.

Demonstrators, who have been mostly peaceful at the encampment they set up six days ago at the quad, were confronted by a group of pro-Israeli protesters.

The clashes ranged from objects being thrown to screaming matches.

In one violent clash, which CBS 2 is told happened at a different location on campus, two pro-Israel protesters used their flag poles to attack a pro-Palestinian protester.

It got so heated that DePaul's Office of Public Safety called in Chicago Police. Officers lined up between the two groups, and some of the pro-Israel protesters spilled into the street, obstructing traffic. At the time, the university issued an alert urging students to avoid the area and to remain inside their buildings.

Later, the school posted on its "X" account that students can leave their buildings after being alerted to remain indoors but to avoid the Quad and Fullerton when leaving the Richardson Library, SAC, McGowan North/South, and University Hall.

The situation was stabilized just after 3 p.m.

CBS 2 witnessed one person being wheeled away on a stretcher while another was surrounded by CPD and pulled off the premises.

As of Sunday afternoon, there were no reports of arrests or injuries.

This marks the second time that pro-Israel protesters have shown up to the quad to counter-protest. A student there said those protesters vowed to come back.
