St. Louis officers shoot, kill armed teen
 

(Reuters) - Police officers shot dead a teenager armed with a handgun after he got out of a stolen car in St. Louis on Wednesday night, their force said.

The shooting comes five months after a white police officer shot dead an unarmed black teenager in a suburb of the city -- one of a number of racially-charged cases that have prompted protests about police tactics across the United States.

Officers were tailing the car, which was reported stolen in December, when it struck a wall and the engine stopped, St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson told reporters.

The 19-year-old passenger was carrying a Tec 9 handgun when he got out of the car to flee, and officers ordered him to drop the weapon, Dotson said. Both officers opened fire when he did not, fatally wounding him, he added.

One of the officers involved in Wednesday's shooting was white and the other black, Dotson said at a press conference broadcast online. The St Louis Post-Dispatch reported that the shot teenager was African-American.

Carrying a Tec-9 and didn't even have the balls to use it. One less P.O.S. thief in the World to worry about.

:2 cents:

Who gives a shit who was white and black. I hate the news.

One officer was white and one black.
BrassMonkey and Scum Sharpton will have troubles deciding the reasons for the shooting. Obviously white cop is to blame of racism, but what about the black cop?
