Video shows officer shooting armed teen near Ferguson



The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the shootings occurred at a convenience store.
The violence happened hours after authorities released a surveillance video Wednesday showing a confrontation that ended the night before with a white police officer killing an armed black man in Berkeley, a St. Louis suburb.
Tuesday night's shooting occurred at the side of a gas station about 5 miles northwest of Ferguson, where a white police officer fatally shot unarmed Michael Brown in August, sparking months of civil unrest.
The 18-year-old suspect, identified as Antonio Martin of St. Louis, was armed with a loaded 9mm handgun, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said. Martin died at the scene.
