In news from Missouri, a private autopsy shows an 18-year-old killed by a police officer in St. Louis was shot eight times, six of them from behind. Attorneys for the family of Vonderrit Myers say the results suggest Myers was running away. Police say ballistic evidence shows Myers opened fire first. The officer, who has not been named, was off-duty and working for a private security company at the time of the shooting. His attorney said the bullet wounds in Myers’ legs occurred because Myers wound up lying on his side, with both his gun and his legs pointed at the officer. The death of Vonderrit Myers has fueled ongoing protests over the shooting of Michael Brown by Officer Darren Wilson in nearby Ferguson.
