David Carson, staff photographer for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reports the sound of gunshots tonight in Ferguson, Mo.
#Ferguson crowd did not notice shots for the most part continuing to party on W Florissant, several people came running down Gage, fleeing

#Ferguson shots fired were like 200 yards from protesters in neighborhood, party/protest is continuing

Considering the violence in Ferguson over the past few nights, it’s a sign of the new tone in the suburb that most are insisting Carson heard only fireworks.
@PDPJ firecrackers

@PDPJ stop calling it shots fired. By all accounts it was a firecracker.

On second thought …
#Ferguson People on twitter are saying fireworks, maybe I was wrong about gun fire, but it had my heart racing, it was close & sounded real
