Police fired tear gas at protesters in Ferguson as violence erupted again over the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager.
Officers in riot gear, supported by an armoured SWAT vehicle and a helicopter overhead, repeatedly ordered the crowd to disperse.
Widespread reports from the scene suggested bottles were thrown then live ammunition was fired.
The shots appear to have prompted police to fire a volley of tear gas just after 11pm (5am UK time), sending the crowd fleeing.
A police officer at the scene confirmed to Vice News that live bullets had been fired.
"We didn't shoot, the bad guys are shooting," the officer said.
The crowd gathered near the residential street where 18-year-old Michael Brown was fatally shot by a local policeman was smaller than the one that clashed with police on Sunday.
Pathologists hired by Mr Brown's family previously revealed that the student in the St Louis suburb had been shot at least six times, including twice in the head.
His death has sparked daily protests and nightly clashes with police and prompted the deployment of National Guard reservists.
