Conflicting accounts are slowly emerging about a Missouri teen who was stopped for walking in the middle of the road, and then was fatally shot by Ferguson police on Saturday.
Following the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, police
dispatched riot-control officers to deal with hundreds of protesters at the crime scene on Saturday night. KMOV
reported that more than 100 police cars responded to the demonstration.
In a press conference on Sunday, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said that the Ferguson Police Department had requested that his office take over the investigation.
According to Belmar, one of the two teens who were stopped on the street "allegedly pushed the police officer back into the [patrol] car, where he physically assaulted the police officer."
Belmar confirmed that the teen was unarmed, and said that his "understanding" was that there was a "struggle over the officer's weapon" inside the police car.
"After that, the officer exited his vehicle, and there was a shooting where the officer, in fact, shot the subject," he explained.
