ST. LOUIS • A city police officer fatally shot someone near the intersection of Shaw Boulevard and Klemm Street tonight, police said.

Police said the officer was working a secondary job in the 4100 block of Shaw when he attempted to stop a pedestrian and the pedestrian fled. The officer pursued the pedestrian, who turned and fired a weapon at the officer.

"Fearing for his safety, (the) officer returned fire striking the suspect, fatally wounding him," a tweet from the police department said.

The officer was not injured and a gun was recovered from the scene.

The scene is just east of the Missouri Botanical Garden.

Several neighbors gathered at the scene. Some said they were surprised by the shooting.

"This is not normal," Dorenda Townsend, 42, who lives in the Shaw neighborhood. "I've lived here over 20 years."

Some also expressed concern that the shooting involved police.

"I pray this is not another Mike Brown situation," said Sharon Norman, 50, referring to a shooting in August in Ferguson in which a police officer fatally shot a teenager. That shooting has prompted many protests.

ST. LOUIS • An off-duty city officer fatally shot a man who opened fire on him Wednesday night, police said.

Police said the uniformed officer was working a secondary job for a private security company when he encountered four pedestrians in the Shaw neighborhood and stopped to talk with them at about 7:30 p.m.

The four fled and the officer chased one, a man believed to be in his 20s, Assistant Chief Alfred Atkins said.

The man the officer was chasing jumped from some bushes and struggled with the officer, Atkins said. The man then pulled a gun and fired at the officer, Atkins said. The officer returned fire and fatally shot the man.

The officer was not injured and a gun was recovered from the scene, police said.

The officer, 32, is a six-year veteran of the police department, Atkins said.

The scene is just east of the Missouri Botanical Garden.

A crowd of dozens of people — including several who said they were relatives of the man who was shot — gathered at the scene. Some shouted at police, and some were in tears.

They said other family members who witnessed the shooting told them their relative was unarmed.

Teyonna Myers, 23, of Florissant, said the victim was her cousin, Vonderrick Myers, 18. He had a new job at a factory in Bridgeton.
“He was unarmed,” Teyonna Myers said. “He had a sandwich in his hand, and they thought it was a gun. It’s like Michael Brown all over again.”

Some of the relatives said Myers had been hit with a Taser before he was shot.

Several neighbors also gathered at the scene. Some said they were surprised by the shooting.

“This is not normal,” Dorenda Townsend, 42, who lives in the Shaw neighborhood. “I’ve lived here over 20 years.”

Some also expressed concern that the shooting involved police.

“I pray this is not another Mike Brown situation,” said Sharon Norman, 50, referring to a shooting in August in Ferguson in which a police officer fatally shot a teenager, which has prompted many protests.

WOW...remember guys, ALL OF THIS IS FOR 1 COP that fukked up. Just for 1 RANDOM ASS COP

they are trampling on freedom of movement, freedom to assemble, freedom of speech just to protect 1 incompetent COP.

I dont know why they say ISIS and terrorist are trying to take their freedoms...they are they ones taking their own freedom away little by little.

This isn't about One cop. This is about preserving systemic racism/white supremacy/privilege. They know that the people of Furgeson have the opportunity to draft the blueprint to unravel it all. This will lay the roadmap as to how blacks in All cities in America should be in the aftermath of injustice. They only have one choice. To see that Darren Wilson gets off and to whatever it takes to preserve the fallacy. And the people of Furgeson only have one choice, wreak havoc when they do. Because if the people of Furgeson don't, it will be open season on blacks of biblical proportion . Just my $.02

Victim Blaming

Here we fukking go as usual. Police immediately begin a smear campaign to try to justify their brutality!


“@michaelcalhoun: Chief: the person shot has had experience with law enforcement. "No stranger" to police.”
