The great @phampel of @stltoday was just assaulted and robbed by looters. His face is cut but he seems OK. Unacceptable.

From someone who is actually in Ferguson rather than screengrabbing a monitor: this is incorrect

2. The Latest: Shots Fired; Demonstrators Scatter In Ferguson

FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) -- The latest in the events marking a year since the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri (all times local):

11:15 p.m.

A demonstration along West Florissant Avenue in Ferguson, Missouri, has been disrupted by gunfire.

Shots rang out just after 11:15 p.m. Sunday. It was unclear where the shots came from. It wasn't immediately clear whether anyone was hit.

Protesters who had gathered in the street fled in multiple directions, hiding behind cars and taking cover in buildings.

A police helicopter appeared overhead, shining a spotlight down on the street. Dozens of police cars and an armored vehicle converged on the area.

St. Louis County Police posted on Twitter that multiple shots were fired and asked people to leave the area. A spokesman for the department didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

4. Again? This looting has to stop. It hurts the state of Missouri,

which should be back to being a battleground state. Democrats must have focus in Missouri, and Democrats must hold the governor's race there. It should be embarrassing that the last Democrat to win Missouri was Bill Clinton in 1996.

7. I can understand the anger. Maybe America's most patient people have finally hit the

boiling point. Remember, people said the same thing about the Boston Tea Party and over 60% of colonists thought the revolution were people just breaking the law at the beginning.

8. Wow lots of shots fired

No one dead only one injured.

Video at link above. Sounded pretty bad thankfully no one was killed.

12. It appears that a few criminal looters may be using the peaceful protests as cover

for their actions. As usual, though, the actual protestors will undoubtedly get the blame for any violence. This will be used to undermine their cause, and convince people around the country that they are not to be taken seriously.
