ST. LOUIS — Officers have shot a man who police say opened fire on them in Ferguson, Missouri where protesters gathered en masse on the anniversary of Michael Brown’s death.
The identity and condition of the person shot by police was not immediately known.
“The St. Louis County Police Department was involved in an officer-involved shooting after officers came under heavy gunfire,” county police spokesman Shawn McGuire said in a written statement. “We are working as quickly as possible to get details of the incident.”
A news conference was scheduled for 2:30 a.m. CT.
A Twitter user posted video of an officer standing over a man lying on the ground.
“Hey, he’s bleeding!” the man on the video says. “Please get him some help. He’s bleeding out, please get him some help, man.”

In another video, the man is pushed away from the scene and detained by police.
Recently hired Ferguson police Chief Andre Anderson was giving a local TV interview when the shots rang out shortly before midnight.

St. Louis County Police quickly posted tweets of their bullet-riddled cars allegedly damaged by Sunday’s gunman.
