A crowd of about 100 people were gathered early Wednesday at the scene in Berkeley, Missouri, a few miles from Ferguson, where a white police officer fatally shot black 18-year-old Michael Brown in August.
According to a statement from St. Louis County police spokesman Sgt. Brian Schellman, a Berkeley police officer was conducting a routine business check at a gas station around 11:15 p.m. Tuesday when he saw two men and approached them.
One of the men pulled a handgun and pointed it at the officer, Schellman said. The officer fired several shots, striking and fatally wounding the man.
The second man fled, and the dead man's handgun has been recovered, according to Schellman.
The St. Louis County Police Department is handling the investigation, and no further details about the incident were immediately available.

Authorities did not immediately identify the man who was shot. But the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that a woman at the scene, Toni Martin, said he was her son, 18-year-old Antonio Martin.
Toni Martin told the newspaper that her son was with his girlfriend at the time of the shooting.
The protesters who gathered early Wednesday milled around the gas pumps at the station, some taunting and yelling at police officers.
Some had strands of yellow police-line tape draped around their neck, with others using it as a headband.
Authorities from multiple agencies, some in riot gear, stood among the protesters.

Across the street, another gas station's glass doors were shattered, and police were standing outside the door, turning people away.
Orlando Brown, 36, of nearby St. Charles was among the protesters. He said he didn't have all the details about the shooting but said he wondered if it was a case of police aggression.
"I understand police officers have a job and have an obligation to go home to their families at the end of the night," he said. "But do you have to treat every situation with lethal force? ... It's not a racial issue, or black or white. It's wrong or right."
Brown said he was pepper-sprayed during the protest as police tried to separate him from a friend whose hand he was holding. He said his friend was arrested for failing to disperse.
Neither Schellman nor Berkeley police could immediately confirm that pepper spray was used or that arrests were made. Photos from the scene showed authorities scuffling with at least a few protesters.
Brown's death led to weeks of protests and some looting in the St. Louis area, actions that were renewed last month when a grand jury chose not to indict Officer Darren Wilson.

(Reuters) - An 18-year-old black man was shot and killed by police late on Tuesday at a gas station in a St. Louis suburb near where unarmed teen Michael Brown was killed by a white officer in August, police and local media said.
A video feed showed the gas station cordoned off by yellow tape and guarded by police, some in helmets and carrying riot shields, with bystanders shouting at them in a tense standoff.
The shooting of Brown in the summer, and the decision not to prosecute the officer involved, set off demonstrations across the country. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper reported that some 60 people had gathered at the scene of Tuesday's incident and that at least three were arrested.
Images and video footage showed a flash, a loud bang and smoke filling an area near the gas pumps, but it was not clear whether they were caused by bystanders or the police. Local broadcaster KSDK reported people hurled rocks and bricks toward police.
Police said the man who was killed had pointed a handgun at an officer who was conducting a "routine business check" and had approached two men outside the gas station after 11 p.m. (0500 GMT) in the suburb of Berkeley.
"Fearing for his life, the Berkeley Officer fired several shots, striking the subject, fatally wounding him," St. Louis County Police Department spokesman Brian Schellman said in a statement. The second man fled the scene.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch named the dead man as 18-year-old Antonio Martin, citing his mother, who said he was with his girlfriend around the time of the shooting.
"They won't tell me nothing. His girlfriend told me that the police was messing with him," the man's mother, Toni Martin, told a local broadcaster. "When he was trying to get up and run, they start shooting."
St. Louis County police recovered the deceased's man's handgun at the scene. The did not confirm his identity.
LAPD INVESTIGATES SONG
Berkeley neighbors the suburb of Ferguson, where police officer Darren Wilson shot Michael Brown on Aug. 9, a killing that fueled criticism of the way police and the criminal justice system treat minority groups.
Protests in Ferguson have taken place for months and spilled over into violence when a grand jury decided not to charge Wilson.
Demonstrations in cities across the country gained in momentum when a New York grand jury decided not to charge police over the death of Eric Garner, a 43-year-old black man whom police tackled and put in a chokehold.
Before the latest incident, about 200 people marched in New York on Tuesday, defying Mayor Bill de Blasio's call for protests to be suspended after two police officers were killed in their patrol car on Saturday in an apparent revenge attack.
In Los Angeles, police said they would investigate whether any officers were involved in the singing of a song, at a party organized by a retired policeman, that poked fun at the Ferguson killing.
The lyrics of the song, on a video posted on entertainment news website TMZ, said: "Michael Brown learned a lesson about a messin' with a badass policeman."

comment ... Black teen? Black thug is more like it! This 18 yr old black thug ( an adult ) pulled a gun on this officer I guess he's supposed to stand there and ask the thug to dance when he pulls a loaded gun huh? These police officers have to deal with these savages everyday
and they know its either kill or be killed

Maybe Al Sharpton and the NAACP should stop supporting this kind of behavior by black kids and condone it. Instead of marching and protest in their honor and scream racism no matter what crimes these kids commit and applaud them for doing the crime

The police have a job to do and if you pull a loaded gun on a police officer expect to be shot and killed its a no brainer, I don't care what color you are

[crimethink]

"Some protesters questioned why the officer couldn't use pepper spray or a stun gun."

And right before Kwanzaa. Kwanzaa won't be the same without him. Who else can rob a gas station and get Kwanzaa gifts for under the Kwanzaa tree like Antonio Martin?

It's going to get worse.

Surely you're kidding. Al NotSoSharpton thrives on this sort of shit and this episode will be concocted to be "mean old whitey po-po was messin' with my lil' angel who was unarmed. When my lil' angel started to get up and run from the mean ol' whitey po-po the mean ol' whitey po-po started shooting. If the mean ol' whitey po-po had used pepper spray instead of shooting him my lil' angel would still be alive. My lil' angel had his hands up the entire time, and he was also sayin' 'I can't breathe'."

Just fascinating as hell how some joosmedia (e.g. WSJ) knock down the resolution of the video so ya can't see shit. Here's a video where you can actually see the thug take aim -

The Hi-Point is black and ugly, but it works.

It's a rough gun, and needs TLC. They jam if not kept clean and oiled.

I recommend them for those who can't afford a Ruger or Glock. I also emphasize they are last-ditch weapons, not regular carry weapons.

71 times more likely to be killed by another black, than they are by a white copper.

In Just 35 Years, 232,000 U.S. Blacks Killed by Other Blacks (http://americanfreepress.net/?p=21594)



http://americanfreepress.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/52_232000_Blacks_Dead-300x231.jpg (http://americanfreepress.net/?p=21594)



Putting these figures in perspective then, for every black killed by a white police officer in the U.S. every year, there are about 71 blacks killed by other blacks. Worse, if you take—on average—6,200 black-on-black murders every year for the past 35 years, you arrive at a staggering 232,000 blacks killed by other blacks on America’s mean streets in just three-and-a-half short decades. The problem, of course, is that this grim statistic will never be mentioned by Al Sharpton, the liberal media or any of the other race baiters out there, who are busy pointing the finger at racist white policemen killing “innocent, unarmed black children.”
