Photos: Another Black Teenager Shot Dead By Police in St Louis

Weeks after the shooting of unarmed black
teenager Michael Brown, police in another St.
Louis suburb have reportedly shot and killed an
18-year-old black teenager at a gas station. A
statement released by the St. Louis County Police
says Martin was shot after he pulled a gun and
pointed it at officers as they approached him
outside the gas station;
“Fearing for his life, the Berkeley officer fired
several shots, striking the subject, fatally
wounding him,” the statement said.
A second person reportedly fled the scene. Police
have recovered the gun they say belonged to
Martin. An investigation into the incident is
ongoing. Crowd is already gathering at the scene.
