From Yahoo News:
A man was gravely wounded in a gun battle with police in Ferguson, Missouri on Sunday night after a day of peaceful rallies to mark the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager by a white officer one year ago. Several volleys of gunshots rang out as police in riot gear tried to disperse demonstrators blocking traffic and smashing storefront windows along a street that was a flashpoint of last year's unrest in the St. Louis suburb after Michael Brown, 18, was slain. Police later said the gunfire began with two groups of agitators apparently shooting at each other.

Anniversary commemorations had begun hours earlier with a peaceful march through the St. Louis suburb. The scene changed dramatically after dark. Dozens of protesters converged on West Florissant Avenue, which bore the brunt of last summer's rioting, and chanted: "Shut it down" in the midst of a severe thunderstorm.

The problem with breitbart is that it is entertainment, not journalism. They don't do fact checking, they don't do background research. They have a POV and they are happy to only report the half of the story that promotes their POV. I wouldn't cite them any more than I'd cite something from huffpo.
Use them as a starting point and follow-up on the sources if you are so inclined. But if you aren't going to do that research yourself and post the direct sources, don't expect anyone who doubts you to do it for you. You can post to make yourself feel good or you can post to inform other readers. Citing breitbart is only good for the former.
