Darren Wilson's fatal encounter with Michael Brown was brief, report says Aug. 18, 2014: People stand near a cloud of tear gas in Ferguson, Mo. during protests for the Aug. 9 shooting of unarmed black 18-year-old Michael Brown by a white police officer (AP) As a grand jury weighs the option of indicting a St. Louis officer on charges of shooting and killing 18-year-old Michael Brown, new video shows the encounter between the two individuals was very brief. Video and records obtained by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch show police officer Darren Wilson leaving for the hospital two hours after the shooting with his union lawyer and other officers. Wilson returned to the station about two and one-half hours later. Wilson was searching for a thief that matched Brown's description, the paper reported. Brown allegedly attacked Wilson prompting the officer to fire upon Brown. After calling for backup, Wilson reportedly continued his search on foot, but claimed Brown charged at him prompting more gun fire. Witness accounts vary. Dorian Johnson, Brown's friend who was with him at the time, claims Wilson grabbed Brown by the throat and attempted to put him in the SUV Wilson was driving. He also has said the fatal shot came when Brown's hands were up. A grand jury could come up with a decision at any time. Protesters in Missouri are reportedly planning to shut down Clayton, Mo. after the verdict. For more visit The St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
