 "On anniversary of Ferguson shooting, demonstrator injured during clashes")

An AFP journalist heard about two dozen shots ring out and saw one bloodied protester lying on the ground late yesterday.

The violence came at the end of a day of somber remembrance to mark the anniversary of the shooting of black teen Michael Brown by a white police officer in a case that triggered violent unrest. Demonstrations had been peaceful all day but a rowdy group of protesters later looted at least one store and faced off against police officers clad in riot gear. AFP
