Police will enforce a curfew in Ferguson, Mo. for a second night, according to the St. Louis Post Dispatch.

Missouri Highway Patrol spokesman Al Nothum said that police would provide further details in a press conference later on Sunday.

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon (D) on Saturday imposed a curfew in Ferguson from 12 a.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday.

Despite the curfew, a small group of protesters remained outside early Sunday morning. Seven people were arrested, and one person was shot by an unknown gunman.
