Nov. 24 was a night that will go down in history for the Saint Louis suburb of Ferguson, Missouri. A night that was supposed to be full of peaceful protesters turned violent just after the ruling to not indict Officer Wilson was announced to the public. It didn’t take long for the first violent actions to errupt.

The first red flag was when a mobile phone store’s window was broken and people started to run in and loot the store. Once the police and law enforcement realized this they began firing tear gas canisters at the rioting crowds. The tear gas subdued the crowds for a while, and the rioters retreated as the law enforcement advanced to form a line of containment,

Which didn’t stop the rioters. Next the rioters attacked a Walgreens, a McDonalds, a Liquor store, and a storage unit. One by one these businesses where looted and then torched by the rioters. At the end of the night a total of a dozen buildings were burned down in the community.

Around this time gun shots started to ring out all over the area. It was unsure from where and who the shots were coming from at the time, but as the night when on, it became clear that the shots came from inside the rioting crowds. According to CNN, there were a total of 120 gunshots fired in the city that night.

As the night went on, the riots became even more frantic. Bottles and rocks, along with fired gas canisters were thrown at the police and countless windows were smashed. Two police cars were burned along with multiple non-law enforcement vehicles.

Before the night ended, the city police force had reported in immense rapid gunfire throughout the city. As a result, the flights to and from Lambert-St. Louis International Airport were not allowed to land late on Monday for safety reasons.
