| 16 | Police arrested nearly two dozen people in Ferguson during a protest that stretched into early Tuesday marking the anniversary of the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, although there was no repeat of the violence that scarred weekend demonstrations. |
| 17 | There were no shots fired and no burglaries, looting or property damage during the protest along West Florissant Avenue, county police spokesman Shawn McGuire said. |
| 18 | The St. Louis suburb thoroughfare was the focus of months of massive protests and sometimes violent unrest last summer after the killing of Brown by a Ferguson police officer. |
| 19 | But on Monday night, no smoke or tear gas was used, and no police or civilians reported injuries, McGuire said in a statement. |
| 20 | By 1 a.m., the crowd and police were heading home. |
| 21 | McGuire said approximately 23 arrests were made, though police were still confirming official totals. |
| 22 | Late Sunday, a protest in the same area was interrupted by gunfire and a police shooting that left an 18-year-old suspect critically injured. |
| 23 | The violence set Ferguson on edge and had protest leaders worried that tensions could escalate. |
| 24 | St. Louis County Executive Steve Stenger declared a state of emergency that authorized county Police Chief Jon Belmar to take control of police emergency management in and around Ferguson. |
| 25 | Early Monday evening, hundreds of protesters were chanting, beating drums and carrying signs. |
| 26 | When some in the group moved into a traffic lane, officers in riot gear forced people out of the street. |
| 27 | Some demonstrators threw water bottles and other debris at officers. |
| 28 | "They're not going to take the street tonight," Belmar told The Associated Press: "That's not going to happen." |
| 29 | Protests also cropped up outside Ferguson. |
| 30 | Almost 60 people, including scholar and civil rights activist Cornel West, were arrested around midday Monday for blocking the entrance to the federal courthouse in downtown St. Louis. |
| 31 | Another group later briefly blocked Interstate 70 during the late afternoon rush hour, with an additional 64 arrests, according to McGuire. |
| 32 | Ferguson resident and military veteran Hershel Myers Jr., 46, criticized the police response as aggressive and unnecessary. |
| 33 | At the Sunday night demonstration, tensions escalated after several hundred people gathered in the street, ignoring repeated warnings to get to the sidewalk or face arrest. |
| 34 | Several gunshots rang out from an area near a strip of stores, including some that had been looted moments earlier. |
| 35 | The shots sent protesters and reporters running for cover. |
| 36 | Belmar said he believed there were six shooters, including 18-year-old Tyrone Harris Jr., who the police chief said opened fire on officers. |
| 37 | Police had been watching Harris during the protest out of concern that he was armed, he said. |
| 38 | During the gunfire, Harris crossed the street and apparently spotted plainclothes officers arriving in an unmarked van with distinctive red and blue police lights, Belmar said. |
| 39 | Police said the suspect shot into the windshield of the van. |
| 40 | The four officers in the van fired back, then pursued him on foot. |
| 41 | The suspect again fired on the officers when he became trapped in a fenced-in area, Belmar said, and all four opened fire. |
| 42 | Harris was in critical condition after surgery Monday. |
| 43 | Prosecutors announced 10 charges against him - five counts of armed criminal action, four counts of first-degree assault on a law enforcement officer and a firearms charge. |
| 44 | All 10 are felonies. |
| 45 | The officers in the van were wearing protective vests and escaped injury. |
| 46 | They were not wearing body cameras, Belmar said. |
| 47 | Harris' father called the police version of events "a bunch of lies." |
| 48 | Tyrone Harris Sr. told The Associated Press that two girls who were with his son told him the 18-year-old was unarmed. |
| 49 | They said he had been drawn into a dispute involving two groups of young people and was "running for his life" after the gunfire broke out. |
| 50 | He said his son was a close friend of Michael Brown and was in Ferguson on Sunday night to pay respects. |
| 51 | "My son was running to the police to ask for help, and he was shot," Harris said. |
| 52 | "It's all a bunch of lies ... They're making my son look like a criminal." |
| 53 | Online court records show that Tyrone Harris Jr. was charged in November with stealing a motor vehicle and a gun, as well as resisting arrest by fleeing. |
| 54 | A court hearing in that case is scheduled for Aug. 31. |
| 55 | Belmar said the suspect who fired on officers used a stolen semi-automatic 9 mm gun. |

| 57 | Belmar said a suspect fired on police Sunday during a protest on the anniversary of the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. |
| 58 | Police returned fire and the man was taken to a hospital, where Belmar said he was in surgery early Monday morning. |
