Autopsy Confirms Michael Brown Was Shot At Least Six Times
by Staff Editor
Information continues to be released in regards to the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown. While protests and riots rage on in Ferguson, MO, autopsy reports reveal that he was shot at least six times – twice in the head by officer Darren Wilson.
According to the New York Times, Brown was struck four times in the right arm and all of the bullets were shot from the front. One of the bullets hit the teen at top of his skull causing a fatal injury, suggesting he was bent forward.
No gunpowder residue was found on him suggesting that none of the shots were fired in close range though it could have been on his clothing. Protests continue to rage on in the suburb while civilians and police officers continue to clash despite the newly enforced midnight curfew. Tear gas, rubber bullets and LARDs (sonic cannons) were uses to disperse crowds before the curfew began last night (August 17).
Following the release of his emotionally charged “Be Free,” J. Cole and members from his Dreamville Records label visited Ferguson to mourn the loss of Mike Brown – visiting the very spot he was shot.
