UPDATE 08/10/15:

The victim of the officer-involved shooting has been confirmed as Tyrone Harris Jr. His father tells STL Today that his son had undergone surgery following the shooting, though he appears to still be in critical condition. Harris and Michael Brown "were real close," says the victim's father. The Harris family is skeptical of the narrative being perpetuated by local officers, adding "we think there's a lot more to this than what's being said."

In addition to the shooting of Harris, a shooting reportedly took place near the Canfield Green apartment complex where Brown was shot by officer Darren Wilson one year ago. No officers appear to have been involved. According to the Washington Post, the victims were 17 and 19 years old, respectively. No serious injuries were reported.

See original story below.

It's been a year since Michael Brown was shot and killed by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, and we're seemingly right where we started. During protests coinciding with the one-year anniversary of Brown's death, reports indicate two victims were shot in separate incidents. Multiple gunshots were heard. The St. Louis County police report an officer was involved in one of the shootings.

A man recording footage of police responding to a victim was apparently arrested.

We'll update as more information becomes available.
