More information about the tragic shooting of Michael Brown has surfaced from two white construction workers, who confirmed the Brown’s hands were up while being shot multiple times.
The new perspective on shooting incident in Ferguson, St. Louis may shed light on the situation in a different way.
The two workers, who were fixing up an apartment complex, have a similar story to others that say Brown’s hands were up.
According to the Post-Dispatch reporter:
The worker said he saw Brown on Aug. 9 about 11 a.m. as Brown was walking west on Canfield Drive, toward West Florissant Avenue.
He said Brown struck up a rambling, half-hour conversation with his co-worker.
The site continues:
About a half-hour later, the worker heard a gunshot. Then he saw Brown running away from a police car. Wilson trailed about 10 to 15 feet behind, gun in hand. About 90 feet away from the car, the worker said, Wilson fired another shot at Brown, whose back was turned.
The worker said Brown stumbled and then stopped, put his hands up, turned around and said, “OK, OK, OK, OK, OK.” He said he told investigators from the St. Louis County police and the FBI that because of the stumble, it seemed to him that Brown had been wounded.
The workers do reveal that Officer Darren Wilson continued to shoot.
We hope the incident gets some resolve soon.
