A news organization's video camera appears to have captured a portion of a gunfight in Ferguson, Missouri Sunday night that led to a police-involved shooting -- and a young black man lying critically injured in the street.
The video, which was apparently shot by shot by Ruptly, RT's video agency, shows a group of young men running from gunfire that erupts behind a white pickup truck.
A second video, taken by an eyewitness and posted to Twitter, shows the same truck fleeing the corner, which police say was the 9200 block of West Florissant Avenue.

Police later pursued one of the men believed to have fired the shots, 18-year-old Tyrone Harris, and shot him after he opened fire on their unmarked police cruiser. They said the initial shots were fired by unknown persons in rival groups "in the vicinity of the protests" just after 11 p.m. local time.
Harris was taken to a local hospital in critical condition early Monday morning where he underwent surgery.
