The first time Ferguson exploded in rage, Juanita Morris was spared.

Three windows and the door were broken at her clothing store, Fashions R Boutique, but surprisingly, nothing was stolen. Morris, who was on a business trip to Las Vegas, thought the protesters had vented and calm would return.

In November, though, after a grand jury decided not to indict Wilson, she wasn't as lucky. Cars were vandalized, shots fired and businesses went up in flames — including her own.

First word came in a text from a pastor: "Sorry about your store and I'm praying for you."

"And, I saw the sign that says 'Fashions R' and it was burning," Morris says. "It's like losing your whole life's work."

Still, a few weeks later, Morris began looking to reopen. She had regular customers, many of them seniors who shopped at the "church woman's store" for their Sunday finest — brightly colored wide hats, scarves and tailored suits. And she had new friends and champions.

By March, Morris had a temporary shop in a strip mall. This fall, she'll move to a new store in nearby Florissant. The rebuilding in Ferguson, she says, is moving too slowly and some elderly customers have told her they don't feel safe returning to the area now.

One continuous shot showing protesters on side of street, a car hitting protester who is left lying on side of road, protesters running to check on person who was hit, when sound of multiple gunshots send everyone running, protesters in parking lot, asking if anyone was shot, woman's voice says police are across the road not doing anything.

STORYLINE:

A protester was hit by a in Ferguson, Missouri on Tuesday during a demonstration marking the second anniversary of Michael Brown's death.

Witnesses told an Associated Press reporter that a car sped through a group of protesters who were blocking a street during the demonstration marking two years since the unarmed black 18-year-old's fatal shooting by a white police officer.

They said the car struck a young man so hard that he flew into the air. As the car drove away, shots were fired, they said.

The man appeared to be badly injured and was put into a private car to be taken to a hospital, she said.

Heather De Mian, who frequently livestreams protests in the St. Louis area, said she screamed when the man was hit.

Police responded to reports of gunfire but had found no evidence that anyone had been struck, said Ferguson spokesman Jeff Small, who declined to speculate about why the shots were fired.

A year after the shooting of an 18-year old man that cast greater scrutiny on how US police interact with black communities, residents of Ferguson in the US state of Missouri said changes needed to happen for their community to be able to move forward.

While some residents were reluctant to say real change had come to Ferguson, they were hopeful that trust would be rebuilt, along with the physical rebuilding of the once-thriving downtown business district.

The shooting of Michael Brown last year led to protests, and the unrest escalated again in November when a St. Louis County grand jury determined that the officer who killed Brown, Darren Wilson, did nothing wrong.

During the November unrest, rioters set fire to more than a dozen of local businesses.

A sombre march and moment of silence is scheduled to take place at around midnight on Sunday in the Ferguson neighbourhood where Brown was shot on 9 August 2014 .

US President Barack Obama sharply rebuked protesters on Tuesday night for racially charged violence in Missouri, saying there was no excuse for burning buildings, torching cars and destroying other property after a grand jury declined to indict the white police officer who shot a black teenager.

Obama said he understood that many people were upset by that decision but added he had "no sympathy" for the people in the Missouri town who had burnt cars and buildings following the announcement.

As darkness fell in Ferguson on Tuesday, where authorities hoped to avoid a second night of violence in the streets, Obama said destructive actions are criminal acts and those responsible should be prosecuted.

The president spoke from Chicago, a trip planned to focus on immigration but overshadowed by the news the night before of the decision not to indict police officer Darren Wilson in 18-year-old Michael Brown's death.

Obama said he understood that many people were upset by the decision.

"The frustrations people have generally, those are rooted in some hard truths that have to be addressed," Obama said.

White House officials are still considering whether Obama should travel to Ferguson, weighing the importance of the moment with the risk of inflaming tensions.

Before he left the White House, the president was briefed by Attorney General Eric Holder on the latest developments and the Justice Department's long-running efforts to restore trust between minority communities and law enforcement.

Obama said he instructed Holder to set up regional meetings on building trust.

Holder said he's "disappointed" by the violence that followed the Ferguson grand jury decision.

He told reporters on Tuesday that he was encouraged by some of the peaceful demonstrations, "acts of violence threaten to drown out those who have legitimate voices" and said progress comes from non-violence.

Minutes after the decision not to indict Wilson was announced Monday, protesters poured into the streets of Ferguson.

Some commercial buildings were burned and dozens were arrested.

"Separate and apart from the particular circumstances of Ferguson, which I am careful not to speak to because it's not my job as president to comment on ongoing investigations and specific cases, but the frustrations people have generally, those are rooted in some hard truths that have to be addressed and so those who are prepared to work constructively, your president will work with you."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Barack Obama, US President:

"And to those who think that what happened in Ferguson is an excuse for violence, I do not have any sympathy for that. I have no sympathy at all for destroying your own communities. But for the overwhelming majority of people who just feel frustrated and pain, because they get a sense that maybe some communities aren't treated fairly or some individuals aren't seen as worthy as others, I understand that. And I want to work with you, and I want to move forward with you. Your president will be right there with you, all right? So that's what we need to focus on. Let's be constructive."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Barack Obama, US President:

"Now, as I said last night, there are productive ways of responding and expressing those frustrations, and there are destructive ways of responding. Burning buildings, torching cars, destroying property, putting people at risk - that's destructive, and there's no excuse for it. Those are criminal acts, and people should be prosecuted if they engage in criminal acts."

7. Cutaway of Obama at news conference

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Barack Obama, US President:

"I have never seen a civil rights law or health care bill or immigration bill result because a car got burnt. It happened because people vote, it happens because people mobilise, it happens because people organise, it happens because people look at what are the best policies to solve the problem. That is how you actually move something forward."

9. Cutaway of Obama at news conference

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Barack Obama, US President:

"So part of that I've instructed Attorney General Eric Holder, not just to investigate what happened in Ferguson, but also identify specific steps we can take together to set up a series of regional meetings focused on building trust in our communities. And next week we will bring together state and local officials and law enforcement and community leaders and faith leaders to start identifying very specific steps that we can take to make sure that law enforcement is fair and is being applied equally to every person in this country."

I was disappointed that some members of the community resorted to violence, rather than respecting what I thought were the really heartfelt words of Michael Brown Sr. and the wishes he expressed that he wanted his son's memory to be honoured with non-violence. It is clear that those acts of violence threaten to drown out those that have legitimate voices, legitimate demonstrators. Those acts cannot and will not be condoned."

14. Cutaway

15. SOUNDBITE (English) Eric Holder, US Attorney General:

"Also, the need to bring our people together, this is a difficult time, for people in Ferguson, it's a difficult time for people in our country, I think this is an opportunity for us to find those things that bind us as a nation, to be honest with one another about those things that continue to divide us and to come up with ways in which we make this union even more perfect."

President Barack Obama says there's "no excuse" for burning buildings, torching cars and destroying property in response to the grand jury decision in Ferguson, Missouri.

Obama says such "destructive" actions are criminal and those who are responsible should be prosecuted.

The president is speaking in Chicago a day after a Missouri grand jury declined to indict a police officer in 18-year-old Michael Brown's death.

Obama says he understands that many people are upset by that decision. He says their frustration is rooted in a sense that laws are not always being enforced "uniformly and fairly" in communities of color.

"And as i said last night, the frustrations that we have seen are not just about a particular incident. they have deep roots in many communities of color. We have a sense that our laws are not always being enforced uniformly or fairly. That may not be chore everywhere, and it is certainly not true for the vast majority of law enforcement officials, but that is an oppression that some folks have, and it is not just made up. It is rooted in realities. It has existed in this country for a long time. Now, as i said last night, there are productive ways of responding and expressing those of frustrations, and there are destructive ways of responding. Burning buildings, torching cars, destroying property, putting people at risk, that is destructive. There is no excuse for it. Those are criminal acts. And people should be prosecuted if they engage in criminal acts. But what we also saw, although it did not get as much attention in the media, was a full gathering of the overwhelmingly useful protests in Chicago and New York, Los Angeles, other cities. We have seen young people who are organizing, and people beginning to have real conversations about how we change the situation so that there is more trust between law enforcement and some of these communities. And those are necessary conversations to have."

That may not be chore everywhere, and it is certainly not true for the vast majority of law enforcement officials, but that is an oppression that some folks have, and it is not just made up. It is rooted in realities. It has existed in this country for a long time. Now, as i said last night, there are productive ways of responding and expressing those of frustrations, and there are destructive ways of responding. Burning buildings, torching cars, destroying property, putting people at risk, that is destructive. There is no excuse for it. Those are criminal acts. And people should be prosecuted if they engage in criminal acts. But what we also saw, although it did not get as much attention in the media, was a full gathering of the overwhelmingly useful protests in Chicago and New York, Los Angeles, other cities. We have seen young people who are organizing, and people beginning to have real conversations about how we change the situation so that there is more trust between law enforcement and some of these communities. And those are necessary conversations to have."

Authorities in northern California believe two women were with all six of their adopted children when their SUV plunged off a 100-foot (31-meter) cliff along the Pacific Ocean in northern California.

The drop killed Jennifer and Sarah Hart , both 39, and their children Markis Hart, 19; Jeremiah Hart, 14; and Abigail Hart, 14. Hannah Hart, 16; Devonte Hart, 15; and Sierra Hart, 12, have not been found.

The family gained attention after Devonte Hart was photographed during a 2014 protest in Portland, Oregon, over a grand jury's decision not to indict a police officer in the shooting of a black man in Ferguson, Missouri. The boy, holding a "Free Hugs" sign, stood crying. A Portland officer saw his sign and asked if he could have a hug, and an emotional Hart embraced him in a picture that was widely shared.

Law enforcement resources from local, regional, and state partners have been deployed throughout Baltimore to prevent outbreaks in violence, a police official said Tuesday.

"We're deploying to critical infrastructure sites, locations that have experienced previous instances of lawlessness and areas where investigative efforts tell us we need to be," said Capt. Eric Kowalczyk of the Baltimore Police Department.

The violence that started in West Baltimore on Monday afternoon within a mile of where Freddie Gray was arrested and placed into a police van this month had by midnight spread to East Baltimore and neighborhoods close to downtown and near the baseball stadium.

It was one of the most volatile outbreaks of violence prompted by a police-involved death since the days of protests after Michael Brown, an unarmed black man, was shot and killed during a confrontation with a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, last summer.

At least 20 officers were hurt, including six who were hospitalized, police said.

There were 144 vehicle fires, 15 structure fires and nearly 200 arrests, according to the mayor's office.

National Guard troops fanned out through Baltimore, shield-bearing police officers blocked the streets and firefighters doused still-simmering blazes early Tuesday as a growing area of the city shuddered from riots following the funeral of a black man who died in police custody.

The violence that started in West Baltimore on Monday afternoon - within a mile of where Freddie Gray was arrested and placed into a police van earlier this month - had by midnight spread to East Baltimore and neighborhoods close to downtown and near the baseball stadium.

It was one of the most volatile outbreaks of violence prompted by a police-involved death in the U.S. since the days of protests that followed the death of Michael Brown, an unarmed black man who was shot and killed during a confrontation with a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, last summer.

At least 15 officers were hurt in Baltimore, including six who remained hospitalized late Monday, police said. Two dozen people were arrested.

A weeklong, daily curfew was imposed beginning Tuesday from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., the mayor said, and Baltimore public schools announced they would be closed Tuesday.

State and local authorities pledged to restore order and calm, but quickly found themselves responding to questions about whether their initial responses had been adequate.

Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake was asked why she waited hours to ask the governor to declare a state of emergency, while the governor himself hinted she should have come to him earlier.

"We were all in the command center in the second floor of the State House in constant communication, and we were trying to get in touch with the mayor for quite some time," Gov. Larry Hogan told a Monday evening news conference. "She finally made that call, and we immediately took action."

Rawlings-Blake said officials believed they had gotten the unrest that had erupted over the weekend under control "and I think it would have been inappropriate to bring in the National Guard."

But later on, Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony Batts made it clear events had become unmanageable. "They just outnumbered us and outflanked us," Batts said. "We needed to have more resources out there."

Batts said authorities had had a "very trying and disappointing day."

Police certainly had their work cut out for them: The rioters set police cars and buildings on fire in several neighborhoods, looted a mall and liquor stores and threw rocks at police with riot gear who responded occasionally with pepper spray.

"I understand anger, but what we're seeing isn't anger," Rawlings-Blake said. "It's disruption of a community. The same community they say they care about, they're destroying. You can't have it both ways."

Maj. Gen. Linda Singh, adjutant general of the Maryland National Guard, said up to 5,000 troops would be available for Baltimore's streets.

"We are going to be out in massive force, and that just means basically that we are going to be patrolling the streets and out to ensure that we are protecting property," Singh said at a news conference Monday night.

Maryland Congressman Elijah Cummings and about 200 others, including ministers, tried unsuccessfully to quell the violence at one point Monday night, marching arm-in-arm through a neighborhood littered with broken glass, flattened aluminum cans and other debris. As they got close to a line of police officers, the marchers went down on their knees. They then rose to their feet and walked until they were face-to-face with the police officers in a tight formation and wearing riot gear.

But the violence continued, with looters later setting a liquor store on fire and throwing cinder blocks at fire trucks as firefighters labored to put out the blazes.

"I'm disappointed that we could not be more responsible. An embarrassment that we have nationwide in our community. This is not protesting. This is not your first ammendment rights. This is just criminal acts doing damage to a community that is challenged in some ways that do not need this and do not need to be harmed in a way that we have today."

Clashes between angry protestors and riot police erupted in Ferguson, Missouri, late on Monday night after a grand jury said they would not indict a police officer for the fatal shooting of an unarmed teenager.

Some of the hundreds of people who gathered outside the Ferguson Police Department erupted in anger as St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch's announced that Officer Darren Wilson would not face charges for shooting 18-year-old Michael Brown in August.

Protestors smashed windows out of police cars and businesses, several of which were later set ablaze, and officers responded with tear gas thrown from inside armoured vehicles to disperse crowds as violence overtook protests in Ferguson.

Gun shots rang out at several points during the night, though it was not immediately clear if anyone was hit or any arrests were made in relation to the gunfire.

As police tried to regain control, some people were filmed breaking into shops and leaving with items they had stolen.

The racially charged case in Ferguson has inflamed tensions and re-ignited debates over police-community relations even in cities far from the predominantly black St. Louis suburb.

Rallies were held across the US, including in New York and Los Angeles, to protest against the jury's decision.

Buildings continued to burn in Ferguson, Missouri, early on Tuesday morning, the day after a grand jury declined to indict a white police officer in the death of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown.

The widespread destruction, brought on by rioting Monday night, appeared to be much worse than last summer's protests, with at least a dozen businesses badly damaged or destroyed.

A storage facility, two auto parts stores, a beauty supply store and a pizza shop were among the local businesses torched.

Firefighters were seen working early on Tuesday morning to extinguish several large store fires.

Authorities reported hearing hundreds of gunshots, which for a time prevented fire crews from fighting the flames.

The protests came following the announcement on Monday evening that Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson would not be indicted in the shooting of Brown on August 9.

Moments after the announcement by St. Louis County's top prosecutor, crowds began pouring into Ferguson streets to protest the decision.

Police lobbed tear gas from inside armoured vehicles to try and disperse the crowds.

Buildings were on fire on Monday in the US city of Ferguson on Monday as the city erupted in violence following the news that a Missouri police officer will not be indicted after the fatal shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown.

Aerial shots showed firefighters trying to put out fire at a Little Ceasers pizza store as well as at a Walgreens pharmacy in the city.

Crowds of protestors reacted after St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch announced the decision that the grand jury will not indict officer Darren Wilson for the August shooting.

St. Louis County police confirmed that officers used tear gas to disperse crowds in Ferguson after a police car was vandalised, business windows shattered and gunshots were heard in the streets.

Brown's killing re-ignited a debate over how police treat young African-American men four decades after the civil rights movement of the 1960s and focused attention on long-simmering racial tensions in Ferguson and around the US.

Authorities in Ferguson have responded quickly after a police car was set on fire outside city hall.

The car appeared to have been set on fire Tuesday night by a group of people who had broken off from what had been a largely peaceful crowd protesting a grand jury decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown.

Police used a fire extinguisher to douse the flames and many people scattered as additional officers responded to the scene, though many continued to gather near the damaged car.

At least a dozen buildings were burning after protests in Ferguson turned violent, a St. Louis County Police Chief said early on Tuesday morning.

He said that two police cruisers also were burned and that around 150 shots had been fired over the course of the night.

The protests came following the announcement that a Ferguson police officer would not be indicted in Michael Brown's shooting death.

Moments after the announcement by St. Louis County's top prosecutor, crowds began pouring into Ferguson streets to protest the decision.

Some taunted police, broke windows and vandalised cars.

Within a few hours, several large buildings were ablaze, and frequent gunfire was heard.

Officers used tear gas to try to disperse some of the gatherings.

St. Louis police said the protests on Monday night were worse than the protests that followed after Brown was killed in August.
