ST. LOUIS • Police shot and wounded a 14-year-old boy who fired at officers first Sunday morning in the Walnut Park East neighborhood, Police Chief Sam Dotson said.
The shooting was reported about 9:25 a.m. in the 5000 block of Beacon Avenue; the department posted a tweet saying the wounded person was stable at a hospital.
No officers were injured in the shooting.
Dotson told reporters at the scene that officers had been searching for a car taken in a carjacking late last month. After a short pursuit, Dotson said, the officers stopped to try to talk to at least one teen walking on Lillian Avenue. The teen ran off, turned through a vacant lot near the Walbridge Elementary School and fired one shot before officers returned fire.
The two officers involved are white; the teen is black. The teen was in critical but stable condition at a hospital; he was conscious and able to speak. Dotson said witnesses told police they heard the pursuing officers identify themselves as police and order the teen to get down.

What's a 14 year old "boy" doing with a semi-automatic handgun in the first place?
Waiting for the next set of riots.
Especially since this is nearby the nexus of BLM.
“What’s a 14 year old “boy” doing with a semi-automatic handgun in the first place?”
Wrong question. Americans are guaranteed the right to bear arms per the Constitution. No age requirements that I’ve seen.
The real question is where are his parents and what’s wrong with this boy?
He was a good kid. Never meant to hurt nobody. Changing his life around. Wanted to go to college.
Oh yeah, the peaceful protesters will be burning the town down tonight.
Before or after he was going to be a rap star?
Street Cred.
How’s that shooting at cops working for you now punk?
I think the police are supposed to let the BLM hit them with at least one bullet before they are allowed to shoot back.
The usual answer is "turning his life around".
Got it from mommies purse? But then, it just doesn’t matter. Cop shot black kid. Riot.
LOL, rules of engagement coming to an inner-city near you.
Usually at the end of these pieces they mention he had at least one child as well...
“No officers were injured in the shooting.”
AMEN!!
That’s all That MATTERS!!!
Every Cop out there has EVERY RIGHT to go home in at least
equal or better condition than when they showed up for work.
SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL POLICE!
“Usually at the end of these pieces they mention he had at least one child as well...”
Yeah, as soon as they can achieve an erection, the babies start dropping.
Wait for this kind of thing to ramp up after the incredibly racist movie Birth Of A Nation which glorifies Nate Turner comes out this Friday. The Trailer depicts an all out declaration of war on white Americans.

“Police shot and wounded a 14-year-old boy who fired at officers first Sunday morning...The two officers involved are white; the teen is black.”
The perp’s age (14), and the races of the police and perp mean precisely dick...the kid gave up his standing to be called “a boy” when he committed attempted murder by firing a deadly weapon at a police officer. The race(s) of the perp and the police mean nothing.
It's called "Keepin' it real"
No one alive is either a slave or a slave owner yet this movie will encourage a race war.
I envision a lot of race violence coming soon, they'd have a death wish if they try.
His momma is probably all of 27 herself and has a 1 year old grand baby.
