ST. LOUIS – Gunshot residue was on the hand, waistband and shirt of an 18-year-old man killed by a St. Louis police officer, authorities said Tuesday.
Police union leaders said the lab test by the Missouri State Highway Patrol dispels claims that Vonderrit Myers (picture) didn’t shoot at the officer on Oct. 8, initiating a fatal exchange of gunfire.
The shooting led to a new wave of protests in St. Louis, two months after a white officer in neighboring Ferguson shot and killed an unarmed black 18-year-old, Michael Brown.
St. Louis Police Officers’ Association business manager Jeff Roorda cited other evidence against Myers during a news conference: Social media photos that Roorda said show Myers holding three guns, one of them a 9 mm Smith & Wesson. Roorda said it is likely the stolen gun Myers used to shoot at the officer. More
