18 y/o Black male shot dead by Police in St Louis suburb of Berkeley MO

everyone wants answers .......but they don't know what exactly what happened yet.....this is not good.

Is why I can be patient. I'd rather read a boring truth, as to read mis truths. And I still don't know what I need to know. Too much cussing. :(
 
A lot of mis truths are usually in the first report. The story evolves.


MOP though.

Local media have posted pictures of the handgun lying on the ground so I tend to believe the version of events being put out by LE as opposed to bystanders who claim the decedent was "unarmed" and "killed for fitting a description"
 
We need more info and ballistics. I have to go by what I'VE SEEN. :)

It says here they recovered the gun at the scene, and I did see a photo of it.

The St. Louis County Police Department is conducting an investigation into a shooting death involving a Berkeley, Missouri police officer.

At approximately 11:15 PM on December 23, 2014, a police officer with the City of Berkeley was conducting a routine business check at the Mobile Gas Station located at 6800 N. Hanley when he observed two male subjects on the side of the building.

The Berkeley Police Officer exited his vehicle and approached the subjects when one of the men pulled a handgun and pointed it at the officer. Fearing for his life, the Berkeley Officer fired several shots, striking the subject, fatally wounding him. The second subject fled the scene.

The Berkeley Police Department requested the St. Louis County Police Department's Crimes Against Persons Unit to handle the investigation. St. Louis County Police Detectives have recovered the deceased subject's handgun at the scene.

At this time, we cannot confirm the identity of the deceased subject. The investigation is on-going and further details will be provided as the investigation proceeds.
