At about 1 a.m., a St. Louis County Police officer shot and critically wounded a man who police said pointed a handgun at the officer near the intersection of West Florissant and Chambers Road.
The shooting happened near Chambers and Sheffingdell Court close to the site of protests against police for the fatal shooting of Michael Brown.
Police said they received a call about four to five men in the area armed with shotguns and wearing ski masks and they got reports of shots fired in the area. Police officers arrived and saw "multiple subjects running," said police spokesman Officer Brian Schellman.
An officer approached one of the men and he pulled a handgun on the officer who then fired, Schellman said.
Police said they recovered the handgun at the scene. The man was taken to a hospital.

Let’s see, we degrade them via government policy into animals. Take away their fathers, who themselves knew no fathers. Leave them to new daddy’s like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson or a local religious leader who is more like a criminal boss http://www.chicagocrusader.com/chicago/News-Detail.aspx?typeID=1&newsID=6647&CityID=1.
They’re taught to hate whitey via a government school system we pay for and allow to exist, hate the police and see the world as against them because of their skin color, something they cannot control. Now, on this pile of tinder and kerosene toss a match. I’m not endorsing their behavior or cop killing, but conservatives, especially Christians, better come up with real solutions that are politically actionable or these, our fellow children of God and fellow Americans will constitute another lost generation via liberalism.
It’s disgusting and we need to help.
Napalm on the sub-human looters would be an overly mild response.
More right than you know. I live in deep south, born and bred. Every community has a Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard (pride thing.)
Austerity measures, when they finally are put in place across America, will not end well for anyone.
We are on a fast track to becoming Greece.
When some expect or feel entitled to things and they are snatched away, some babies whine and cry. Other babies reach for some other babies stuff and just take it.
Makers and takers.
Wow. You nailed it. But I don’t know if this is reversible. It’s a part of the larger plan and it’s been executed perfectly.
When they break down your door, they yell "Police!". Oh, wait, crooks do that now as a matter of routine to gain advantage over the occupants.
That’s what
I’m thinking.Why not release the autopsy reports and how many shots fired.They have that info.
They want to roam like animals, let their kids become feral because they are too busy selling drugs, breeding the next baby daddy, scamming the system and bitching about how little they get from Uncle Sugar let them.
But bring their attitudes and thoughts about looting to my "hood" homie gonna need some Bactine and Bandaids.
There is no hope for most of them, it's a culture THEY created and are damned sure not going to change it. Not as long as Uncle Sugar is there handing them monthly checks. Those that want out find a way out. The rest are content right where they are. Oh sure most of them will bitch about it but they put ZERO effort in fixing it or getting out.
Agreed. Most of the “help them” handwringing is done by people who haven’t lived in the middle of it their whole life or been a victim yet. Lenin said it, give me four years with the yutes and they will never be turned back or something to that effect.
For the most part The inner city Blacks have become Pavlov’s dog.
A black gets shot by any LEO for any reason, Riot.
Cut entitlements, Riot.
Address School failures, Riot.
Sports Team Wins, Riot.
I had not heard that released as the official story by the authorities. I had heard vague reports of "the perp was going for his gun" suggested by the media without source but I had not heard this released as the official position. Rather, I keep hearing it is under investigation.
I don’t understand what the problem is. This is the same excuse the White House and the In-Justice dept. has been using for 5 1/2 years for anything thing from IRS Abuses to the cover up of the Killing of Two Federal Agents with Weapons the ATF smuggled illegally into Mexican Cartel members possession.
“please tell me you are kidding. I think the police are acting like oppressive overlords. I am completely disgusted. They should have identified the officer who shot Michael Brown immediately, They should not have brought out the riot gear, tear gas and dogs. They should deescalate, not escalate. Very disappointed in their conduct.”
And you’re an attorney?
Well you must be guilty of something!
The police are using this as an opportunity to over-react with their military armor and vehicles —
They were more interested in firing their cannisters of tear gas at non-existent gatherings of people than detaining the kids running by them with stolen wheel rims.
“yea lets have the scumbags, druggies, drug dealers, looters take the neighborhood instead.”
I agree with you.
Worked out well for Detroit.
Don’t assume those opposing the cops are telling the truth, neither.
Both sides have an agenda.
Sadly, these days many would be justified in doing so.
NEVER assume that.
Thank you.
I hate to say it, but I counsel the hard way with such people. They want what we have? Give it to them, one 135 grain chunk of lead at a time.
