FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — The white police officer who killed Michael Brown has resigned from
the Ferguson Police Department, his attorney said Saturday, nearly four months after the fatal
confrontation with the black 18-year-old that fueled protests in the St. Louis suburb
and across the nation.

.....His resignation was announced Saturday by one of his attorneys, Neil Bruntrager. The
resignation is effective immediately, Bruntrager said. He declined further immediate comment
but said he would release more details Saturday night.

[Brown Deer]

"I, Darren Wilson, hereby resign my commission as a police officer with the City of Ferguson effective immediately. I have been told that my continued employment may put the residents and police officers of the City of Ferguson at risk, which is a circumstance that I cannot allow. For obvious reasons, I wanted to wait until the grand jury made their decision before I officially made my decision to resign. It was my hope to continue in police work, but the safety of other police officers and the community are of paramount importance to me. It is my hope that my resignation will allow the community to heal. I would like to thank all of my supporters and fellow officers throughout this process."
