11:37 p.m. update: Protesters tore down another Confederate statue in Richmond on Tuesday night.

The statue that stood on the Richmond Howitzers Monument, erected in 1892 to commemorate a Richmond Civil War artillery unit, was toppled from its pedestal by protesters using rope. The monument is at the intersection of Harrison Street and Grove Avenue, adjacent to VCU's Monroe Park campus.

This is the third Confederate statue and fourth statue overall taken down during protests in recent weeks. Other statues torn down include Confederate president Jefferson Davis on Monument Avenue, Confederate Gen. Williams Carter Wickham in Monroe Park, and Christopher Columbus in Byrd Park.

(This is breaking news. This story will be updated.)

1. I was wondering when they'd get to that

Used to live a block away and do laundry right across the street.

They put up jersey walls around Lee. I wonder if they are guarding AP Hill.
