Off-duty officer shoots, kills man in St. Louis - CNN.com
What's the over/under on riots?
Also, why did CNN & AP decide that this time an 18 year old was a "man"?
An off-duty St. Louis police officer shot and killed an 18-year-old Wednesday, firing his gun 17 times, authorities said.
Angry residents damaged several police cars in response, even though police say the man fired first.
The death comes on the heels of the Michael Brown shooting two months ago in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, and just ahead of a "Weekend of Resistance" in St. Louis, where activists will push for movement in the investigation into that case.
Like Brown, the teen who was killed in Wednesday's shooting was black. The officers in both incidents are white, police said.
ST. LOUIS (AP) -- An off-duty police officer fatally shot an 18-year-old man who opened fire during a chase in south St. Louis, sparking loud protests in the area, police said Thursday.
