Police officer who shot and killed unarmed teen in Missouri finally named

The police officer who shot and killed black teenager
Michael Brown on a street in Ferguson, St. Louis last
Saturday August 9th has been named. His name is
Darren Wilson and he's supposedly 'torn up' over the
shooting. They are yet to release a pic of what the
officer looks like.
Darren Wilson is said to be a six-year veteran of the
Ferguson Police Department and has no history of
disciplinary action. The police claim the officer was
treated for injuries after the shooting. Officer Wilson
claims Michael attacked him and struggled with him
over his gun during the altercation.
The Ferguson police chief in a press briefing today
gave a timeline of the minutes leading up to the
shooting on Saturday afternoon.
"At 11.48am, Officer Wilson was at an unrelated
'sick call' with an ambulance. At 11.51am, a 911
call came in reporting a 'strong-armed' robbery at
a convenience store, which included a description
of two suspects." Continue...
At 12.01pm, Officer Wilson made contact with
Michael Brown who was walking with a friend.
A second officer arrived on scene immediately
following the shooting. At 12.05pm, a supervisor
arrived.
Chief Jackson said the ambulance that had been
on the sick call responded to the shooting and
provided medical assistance to Mr Brown - who
was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police have said 18-year-old Michael Brown was
shot dead after Officer Wilson encountered him
and another man on the street.
Police claim one of the men pushed the officer into
his squad car, then physically assaulted him in
the vehicle and struggled with the officer over the
officer's weapon.
At least one shot was fired inside the car. The
struggle then spilled onto the street, where Brown
was shot multiple times.
Witnesses have said the officer fired on Brown as
he tried to run away.
18 year-old Michael had been due to start classes at
Vatterott College this past Monday, two days before
he was killed. Michael was walking, unarmed, from
a convenience store with another man to his
grandmother's apartment in Ferguson, when the
police man confronted them.
