FERGUSON, Mo. (Reuters) - Gunfire was heard around the corner from where an unarmed black teenager was shot dead by a white officer one year ago in Ferguson, Missouri, a Reuters witness said. A day of peaceful rallies and prayer in Ferguson on Sunday gave way to a tense standoff between police in riot gear and protesters blocking traffic when shots were heard.
