A year after the police shooting death of unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown, his home city of Ferguson, Mo. was once again ablaze with the sights and sounds of protest and riot.

On Sunday night Ferguson police shot an 18-year-old, wounding him, after he allegedly shot at the officers several times.

According to a Wednesday report by Reuters, Ferguson police released a video of that man, Tyrone Harris, pulling a gun from his trousers. Harris survived gunshots from police and is now being held on bond for a number of charges, including assault on law enforcement and armed criminal action.
