Since the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown by Ferguson, Missouri, police officer Darren Wilson, more shocking information has been revealed every day. Now, the latest reports are saying that a scuffle between Brown and Wilson in Wilson’s patrol car resulted in the officer suffering a facial injury. 
 
 According to multiple reports, Officer Darren Wilson suffered what is said to be an “orbital blowout fracture” to his eye socket after getting into a physical altercation with Brown prior to his death. The reported injury has apparently been verified by a source in the prosecutor’s office as well as by the St. Louis County Police, according to The Gateway Pundit. 
 
 “A blowout fracture is a fracture of one or more of the bones surrounding the eye and is commonly referred to as an orbital floor fracture,” explains the Gateway Pundit. 
 
 This new revelation seems to fall in line with earlier reports from last week, prior to the identification of Officer Wilson, in which Ferguson Chief of Police Tom Jackson said the officer “was hit” and “the side of his face was swollen.” 
 
 This latest update comes after various media outlets reported yesterday that at least a dozen witnesses have corroborated Officer Wilson’s version of the events that resulted in Michael Brown’s death. 
 
 Sources: IJReview, The Gateway Pundit, KMOV, NY Post ||||| Police have announced the name of the officer who shot and killed an unarmed teen in Ferguson, Missouri -- an incident that led to days of clashes in the streets of the St. Louis suburb.

 Darren Wilson was revealed today as the officer who shot Michael Brown, 18. Officials have moved the six-year police veteran and his family from the town as a safety precaution. 
 
 Wilson does not have any history of disciplinary action, Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson said. 
 
 Jackson also noted that Wilson was "treated for an injury." When he announced Wilson's name, authorities handed out copies of a police report to reporters relating to a convenience store "strong arm" robbery that took place in the area shortly before Brown's fatal shooting, showing that the police see the two events as connected. 
 
 "After viewing brown and reviewing this video, I was able to confirm that Brown is the primary suspect in this incident," the police report about the convenience store robbery stated. 
 
 Authorities have previously said that a scuffle ensued after the officer asked the teens to move to the side. Witnesses have said Brown's hands were raised when he was shot multiple times. 
 
 “We’re learning and we’re moving forward. This all starts now to heal, to just make things better,” Jackson previously told ABC News. 
 
 Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon said that he thinks releasing the name of the officer involved in the shooting would help in Ferguson's healing process.

 "I was pleased to hear the chief indicate this would be a day in which, finally, that initial name would come out, and we’ll work to make sure that his family [is safe] and there’s security around that," Nixon told ABC News. "I think those kinds of concrete steps of transparency leading to justice are vitally important now to heal the old wounds that have been made a fresh by this difficult and horrific situation." 
 
 Ferguson faced five consecutive nights of unrest and violence following Brown's shooting death. The teen, who authorities said was unarmed, had his hands raised when he was shot multiple times, at least two witnesses said. 
 
 There were peaceful protests on Thursday, after Nixon swapped local and county officers -- many wearing riot gear and point rifles at demonstrators -- for state highway patrol troopers. Capt. Ron Johnson, the leader of the highway patrol, walked side-by-side with demonstrators Thursday. 
 
 "This is my community. A lot of people I saw walking in this march are people that I know," Johnson said. "So the old saying, 'I've got a dog in this fight,' [is true]. I’ve got a big dog in this fight."

– The police officer in Ferguson, Mo., who shot Michael Brown has gone underground, in a big, big way. The media usually dig up information on major news figures via social media, or family and friends—but any social media accounts Darren Wilson had were scrapped before the police divulged his name, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. A few supporters have spoken in his defense, but no one very close to him, and neither his attorney nor police union officials have anything to say. "He’s had some advice to dive down a hole and take cover for now," says a crisis-management expert. "They're doing everything possible." A friend who's an aspiring cop has spoken up in Wilson's defense, saying he's "100% sure" that Wilson "feared for his life" in shooting Brown. As an aside, the Post-Dispatch notes that Chief Thomas Jackson says Wilson's face was swollen after he struggled with Brown; unnamed sources tell WJLA that Wilson suffered a "serious facial injury," and multiple reports say it was an "orbital blowout fracture," reports Opposing Views. CNN's Don Lemon, however, reported that while Wilson was treated for swelling around his eyes, he did not have a broken eye socket, notes Salon. All the conflicting reports are based on anonymous sources, and Ferguson officials have yet to offer much clarification. (Ferguson's new plan: police cameras.)
