Violent protests broke out early Wednesday between police officers and a vocal crowd of several hundred people who taunted the officers at the scene of the shooting. Two officers were injured, police cars were damaged and fire was set at a QuikTrip store. Four people were arrested.
After the police officer arrived at the store, one of the men pulled a handgun and pointed it at the officer, St. Louis County police spokesman Sgt. Brian Schellman said. The officer fired several shots, fatally wounding the man. The second man fled, and the dead man's handgun has been recovered, according to Schellman.

Good lesson to learn: NEVER, EVER point at weapon at a Police Officer!
Yeah, but that’s Keepin’ it Real, Yo!
Thanks, but your use of the word “victim” is anapt IMHO...
"Yeah, but that’s Keepin’ it Real, Yo!"
No...Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives on two charges, one of perjury and one of obstruction of justice. The BJ by Lewinsky had little to nothing to do with it.
>>>So now the cops have to wait to be fired on b4 they can return fire<<<
Looks like they had to start using Obama’s Afghanistan ROE’s.
Cunning linguist, I am.
Every Republican and every Conservative should speak everywhere, repeatedly, of the simple fact that the Great Society and other evil programs have destroyed the black family.
Every Republican and every Conservative should speak everywhere, repeatedly about the % of intact black families before and after Welfare.
It should be a simple mantra, repeated over and over.
The only true way out of this mess is to unwind these evil family destroying programs.
P.S. The thug got what he deserved...
The big question for me is why did the cop stop the black yutes in the first place? Was there a report of a crime before the LEO arrived? Did the LEO witness criminal activity? Yes, I am fully cognizant of the fact that young black males comprise something like 4% of the population, but commit an overwhelmingly disproportionate number of violent crimes, but still -- we are supposed to be living in a free country, and the thought of being stopped by LEO for no apparent reason other than skin color is offensive. Yes, the cop had no choice but to shoot to kill once the yute drew his gun, but if the cop lacked an objective, constitutional basis to stop the yutes in the first place, then he is partly at fault.
The MSM's biggest fantasy is having Conservatives shoved in ovens.
the left consists of purely evil human beings.
I agree that liberals have destroyed black families but black have got to take responsibility. They support leaders like Al Sharpton instead of leaders like Booker T. Washington.
Hey Obama, about that “larger conversation about race relations”...... how do you like it now?
Why use the word “victim?”
I believe the convenience store had just been robbed he was there on a call for the theft!
***And F’ed up CNN report ‘pointed but didn’t fire”***
That’s the rage in current TV shows and movies! Two guys go for their guns, then when they are pointing them at each other, they hesitate as if to see which one has the faster trigger finger.
Well, it seems the black thugs are not making friends of the Chinese, Hispanics, Whites, Bosnians, African immigrants.
It appears it is BLACK THUGS VS EVERYONE!
The poor child victim was lightly armed, so lightly armed that he could only bench press 35 pounds.
