When Michael Brown Sr. joined nearly a dozen members of his family to be baptized Sunday, his son was supposed to be there. The haunting ceremony was captured in a series of remarkable photographs, which have been shared with The Daily Beast. Little more than a day later, after the grand jury decision was released, his church was burned to the ground. Justin Glawe reports on the two pastor brothers guiding Michael Brown's parents through these trying times.

HOLIDAY CHEER

Looking for a new tactic to demonstrate their anger, protesters in Ferguson, Missouri, started targeting Black Friday sales at big-box retailers. Some protesters started inside a Wal-Mart in another nearby town, chanting peacefully, "Hands up, don't shoot!" to shoppers walking by. After police broke them up, they moved on to a Target store for a similar protest. They are planning more on Friday.

DEVELOPING

Major streets in Austin have been closed down by police as they conduct an investigation into a man suspected of opening fire on multiple buildings downtown, including the police headquarters, the federal courthouse, and the Mexican Consulate. According to initial reports, police returned fire at the station, and killed the man. When officers went to tend to the man, they said they saw what looked like an improvised explosive device in his car. The man was also reportedly wearing what looked like a vest with explosives. Officers then retreated and called in the bomb squad. There is now a police robot checking out a device left near the station.
