Vigil held in St Louis after teenager’s death
About 200 people attended a vigil in St Louis last night near where a black teenager was killed by police a day earlier, sparking angry clashes between residents and officers.
Police officers reported they had been targeted with bricks and bottles and used tear gas to disperse angry crowds on Wednesday, said a St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department spokeswoman.
St Louis Alderman Antonio French posted images on Twitter of people at the vigil holding candles, hugging and making buttons that call for unity in the community.
Wednesday's shooting came less than two weeks after the St Louis area was flooded with protesters from around the country marking the anniversary of the 2014 police killing of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown by a white police officer in nearby Ferguson, Missouri.
