Some threw water bottles at law enforcement, and at least one agent was injured.

Police and sheriff's deputies used flash bangs, tear gas and rubber bullets to try to disburse the crowd. Police fired tear gas about 30 minutes after the curfew took effect, but not all the protesters left.

A caravan of protesters in cars drove on sidewalks and across the grass.

Some protesters shot off fireworks near police and the courthouse. Others set at least two city trucks on fire, leaving the vehicles to burn.

It's not clear if any arrests have been made. Police have not said if there were any injuries.
