FERGUSON, Mo. — Seven people were arrested and one person was shot early Sunday in Ferguson, Mo., as police and protesters clashed again in a haze of tear gas despite a curfew that took effect at midnight.

Other protesters took the shooting victim to the hospital before authorities could reach him, Johnson said.
