“A woman who says she witnessed the shooting of Michael Brown by a Ferguson, Mo., police officer said the 18-year-old had his hands up when he was killed. The witness said Brown, 18, had turned around and was facing police with his hands in the air when the officer fired. She said a stray bullet from the police officer’s gun hit a neighbor’s home, and she was surprised no one else was injured. Police said that they ‘cannot say’ how many times the teen was struck when an officer shot him after an altercation, but the young man was unarmed. ‘Was the other subject, the deceased, the 18-year-old, armed [..] ? The answer to that is no,’ said Jon Belmar, St. Louis County police chief.”
