Western Journalism has this, which supposedly just is breaking. (Fatal shot fired from within car and social media misidentified the officer involved resulting in death threats)

Police did, however, offer some insight into the events leading up to the shooting. According to reports, Brown was with a friend at an apartment complex when the officer attempted to get out of his cruiser.

The teen reportedly initiated an altercation, pushing the officer back into the vehicle and struggling to retrieve his weapon. A fatal shot was then fired within the car, police confirm.

Police continued to shoot after crew members clearly and repeatedly shouted ‘Press’. Al Jazeera America is stunned by this egregious assault on freedom of the press that was clearly intended to have a chilling effect on our ability to cover this important story. Thankfully all three crew members are physically fine.

There is no goddamned freedom of the press.

We have our propagandists, and the ENEMY has theirs.

Al Jazeera America would be ENEMY.
