FERGUSON Mo. (Reuters) - Police fired tear gas after rioting broke out for a second night in Ferguson, Missouri, despite calls on Monday for calm from the mother of a black teenager who was shot to death by police at the weekend.

Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson said officers were focussed on dispersing the crowd, which was smaller than the night before, but were making arrests and reported being fired on at some locations.
