Twenty-four people were arrested in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, on a fourth night of protests following the police shooting of Daunte Wright.

Police said deputies, troopers and officers were “shot at” with “industrial-sized fireworks, spray paint, rocks, and other items,” though local reports said the scenes at the local police department were generally calmer.

Public safety officials issued multiple dispersal warnings on Wednesday before a curfew began.
