PHOENIX — Arizona's Capitol is now ringed with a double row of fencing with concertina wire strung in between.

The fencing was put up over the weekend as three days of protests unfolded over the U.S. Supreme Court's decision saying there is no constitutional right to have an abortion. 

As many as 8,000 people marched and chanted at the Capitol on Friday night and the vast majority were peaceful.

But state troopers fired tear gas after a handful of protesters banged on the front glass of the state Senate and at least one person tried to kick in a sliding door. 

Smaller protests were held the following two days, but there were only a handful of arrests and no injuries.
