Authorities say anti-Donald Trump protesters in Albuquerque threw rocks, urine-filled bottles, molotov cocktail-type devices at officers, and some later fired gunshots.

Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry said Thursday around 30 people out of 1,000 protesters were responsible for the violence from Tuesday's riot that caused around $10,000 in city damage.

Police Chief Gorden Eden says six officers suffered injuries from rocks and other objects, and one police horse suffered a leg injury.

Police released images of two suspects they say threw objects at officers who were later hurt.

Berry says he is offering up to $10,000 in reward money for the arrest of those involved in the violence.

A peaceful anti-Trump protest turned violent Tuesday after the Republican candidate ended an Albuquerque rally. Four people have been arrested so far.
