There has been another shooting in the St. Louis area amidst the recent shooting of Michael Brown.
St. Louis police have shot and killed a young African American man Tuesday after authorities say he brandished a knife.
According to CNN:
The shooting took place not too far from Ferguson, Missouri, where Michael Brown was shot and killed by police officer, Darren Wilson.
“The suspect, who right now is described as a 23-year-old African American, was acting erratically — walking back and forth up and down the street,” St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson told reporters.
“As officers arrived, the suspect turned towards the officers and started to walk towards them clutching his waistband. He then pulled out a knife … and told the officers, ‘Shoot me now. Kill me now,'” the chief said.
Responding officers told the man, repeatedly, to stop and drop his knife, Dotson said. He continued to approach, coming within about four feet of one of the officers, Dotson said, adding that both officers then fired their weapons, striking the suspect.
According to the St. Louis police chief, the suspect was involved in an incident earlier in the day at a convenience store, where he is accused of walking out with two energy drinks and a package of pastries without paying.
