Another Night of Protests, Tear Gas in Ferguson

|

The atmosphere in Ferguson is growing more tense after shots were fired near where protesters were gathering.

Tear gas was deployed by law enforcement just after 11:00 p.m. News 4's Julian Johnson was one of many hit by tear gas. Officers have been using a loudspeaker to tell demonstrators to leave and go home.

A "Code 2000" was issued around 11:30 Monday night, meaning 50 additional officers were requested to come to the scene.
