ST. LOUIS (AP) — Federal aviation officials are diverting some St. Louis-bound flights to other airports because of reports of gunshots fired into the sky in Ferguson, Missouri following a grand jury's decision not to indict the white police officer who fatally shot a black 18-year-old.

The Federal Aviation Administration says about 10 flights have been rerouted from Lambert-St. Louis International Airport.

It says only inbound planes have been affected, not departures.
