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.

The ‘community’ better step up soon and start taking responsibility for and action to change the local thug culture.
In order to get proper perspective, it might help to view the original silent version, from 1915.
I have searched,but failed to find references or links about White reaction riots at the time.
We can expect a somewhat different result this time.
If you are the wrong color, stay away from movie theaters!
I guess he need protection since my guess is that he is an 'undocumented pharmacist'
I think the police are supposed to let the BLM hit them with at least one bullet before they are allowed to shoot back.
Those people aren’t looters, they are ‘undocumented shoppers getting a deal on merchandise’

He was coming out of church and was on his way to a Bible study class. He had a Bible in one hand and a semi-automatic weapon for protection in his other hand. He saw two white men in police uniforms telling him to stop so he had to assume that they were going to rob him so he started shooting. He was going to be his high school class’ Valedictorian and had already been accpeted to Harvard University. Did I miss anything?
You may have a problem, but I don’t.
It’s a matter of maturity, not chronological age.
I was taking target practice with a 22 at 9. And so were my buddies.
The Constitution doesn’t specify age. Sorry if you can’t handle it, but it doesn’t.
So was I.......
And what caliber hand gun were you carrying to school? Your parents DID allow you to carry a handgun didn't they? Or did they violate your Constitutional rights by forbidding you to do so?
Usually one of the “parents” is nearing the end of high school; with no job skills or work ethic they have to start a new “hive” (especially since they’ll no longer qualify for “freebies” for the existing queen as they become adults).
Too bad they didn’t hit the “sweet” spot on the target. It would saved the world from his spawn and his lifetime life on welfare, crime and fraud.
“The real question is where are his parents and what’s wrong with this boy?”
He not be knowin his daddy because dere be 15 to choose from. He do know his baby momma...or so he thinks she is.
A little ghetto verbage.
Before you get off on a tangent, I was merely pointing out that the 2A has no age requirement. Whether or not you agree with that is a different issue.
What about the other Constitutionally protected rights - which one of those shouldn’t ‘kick in’ before a certain age?
Can you imagine the gov’t restricting the ability for 10 year olds to peaceably assemble, exercise free speech, etc.? How about unreasonable searches and seizures (4A) - what is the correct age an American has to be so that a judge can no longer ignore probable cause when issuing a warrant?
It’s equally absurd for these rights to expire simply because one has reached a certain age as well.
Kids carrying guns, what could go wrong?
Plenty. But that’s not the issue I’m talking about.
Nice try.
According to the story, shooting at the cops.
The gang culture, supplemented by BLM and Obama's exhortations is recruiting them via propaganda the same as the muzzies make use of kids.....
