St. Louis police fatally shot a black teenager who they say pointed a gun at them on Wednesday and arrested three protesters, recalling racial tensions sparked by the killing of an unarmed African-American teen in nearby Ferguson, Missouri, a year ago.
St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson said the shooting took place in the late morning as officers were carrying out a search warrant and two young black men ran out the back door of the targeted house.
Officers ordered the pair to stop in the alley behind the house. One suspect pointed a gun at officers who then fired four times, killing him, Dotson said.
Reuters video showed dozens of protesters blocking a nearby intersection shortly after the shooting, monitored by police. Three people were arrested for blocking traffic, police said.

St. Louis police said the officers involved in the shooting were white, ages 33 and 29, and each with about seven years on the force. They are on administrative leave.

If he pointed a gun at the cops then he deserved what he got.

I completely agree.

His mother will be along shortly to tell us he was acting in self defense against over-aggressive police.

Can someone put a spreadsheet together? I'm losing track of these.

Aww. That's just a damn shame.

You never pull a gun unless you're ready to use it. Kid got what he deserved if this is truly the case. Was the LEO wearing a body cam?

Then perhaps you should have made the title more reflective of what happened.

This falls under suicide by cop in my book.

Most definitely, no matter the race or creed.

My bad. 
I didn't realize I left out "armed", which is a pretty fricking important part of the story.

They were probably running late for their community college classes, thus the running out the back.

Please don't add facts to the narrative. It is not important to some.
