FERGUSON, Missouri (CNN) The Ferguson, Missouri, police officer who killed Michael Brown says the teenager rushed at him full speed in the moments before the shooting, according to an account phoned into a St. Louis radio station and confirmed as accurate by a source with detailed knowledge of the investigation.
According to the account on KTFK, phoned in by a woman who identified herself as "Josie," the altercation began after Officer Darren Wilson rolled down his window to tell Brown and a friend to stop walking in the street.
When Wilson tried to get out of his cruiser, Brown first tried to push the officer back into the car, then punched him in the face and grabbed for his gun before breaking free after the gun went off once.
Wilson pursued Brown and his friend, ordering them to freeze, according to account. When they turned around, Brown began taunting Wilson, saying he would not arrest them, then ran at the officer at full speed, according to the caller.
Wilson then began shooting. The final shot was to Brown's forehead, and the teenager fell two or three feet in front of Wilson, the caller said.
The account matches Wilson's telling of events to investigators, according to the source.
If true, the account represents the first telling of events from the perspective of Wilson, whose shooting of Brown has touched off nightly protests and violence in the suburban St. Louis city.

If that first shot happened during a struggle for the gun, that’s probably the unusual wound on the INSIDE BASE PORTION OF BROWN’S GIANT RIGHT THUMB.
I heard on Rush’s show that some of the looters are from Oakland. Is there an Oakland Missouri or were they imported from California? Either way, how did the outsiders get to Ferguson? Did they get help from community organizers? Is baraq calling in favors?
Didn’t the officer go to the HOSPITAL?
Disregard.
Let’s not let the truth get in the way of a good story!
Truth doesn’t matter, here in the Kingdom Of Lies.
The autopsy diagrams that have been released don't show a wound in the forehead.
People have been, and are going to continue, coming out of the woodwork with claims that support one side or the other. I don't think they'll ever know the real story.
You are correct. Looters et al will simply say she was pressured into saying this.
We should be thankful that the Saga of the Martyred St Mike is unraveling so quickly.
It just might backfire. There are plenty of decent blacks who might finally say "enough" with the race baiters and those with an agenda ruining their lives. Part of the reason just might be that the invasion of the hordes over the southern border might be just one insult too many to the black community.
Yeah, I really believe that. If some conservative 'pubs get out there and deplore this rioting as an assault meant to keep blacks on the plantation, at least a percentage might be ready for law and order.
I’d say the media and the Dems are responsible for this , that is if one can distinguish the difference between them,
You really think that if the cops had said he was attacked this would have stopped the rioting and damage these thugs have done?
It was known days ago the cop was attacked, but most in the media did not run with it
Some questions:
1. Is this person a real witness or a pretender?
2. Will they be willing to testify in court?
3. What color are they? Something tells me a white witness would [somehow] get disqualified.
Whatever happens in the end, Wilson (like Zimmerman) has been judged guilty in the court of public opinion.
I still can’t understand and I believe no “journalists” have asked Dorian how he could see everything while hiding, (”ducking”) behind a car.

And those going out publicly (which the media is spreading) to say things that may not be true (shots to the back, hands up, kneeling on the ground) have stoked the fires already? What about them? Don’t they need to be called out?
Its all falling apart, right before their eyes, just like Trayvon. What magic will the third autopsy have to produce to stem the flow? I heard wet grass.
No amount of solid proof will calm these protesters. They don’t care about facts. They are too full of hate and too empty of any morals to care. Just want a reason to rampage. (and I doubt most give a hoot about the dead young man in reality)
And it is the " out of towners " creating and perpetuating the burnings, and riots .
The Dept. of "JUST-US" and its aggitation squad.
THe Black Panthers from Oakland Calif.
The COmmunists
The MEDIA , and its 'spin company' designed to give selective information to the public.
Still awaiting the Dept. of "JUST-US" subsidized protesters ,similar to "DREAM DEFENDERS" of Travon days.
There are reports that the officer went to the hospital (and there are reports concerning the extent of the officer’s injuries, ranging from minor contusions to a broken jaw and eye socket). Nothing has been confirmed, as far as I know.
