The teen allegedly was unarmed and shot several times by the officer, reported KSDK-TV in St. Louis, citing witnesses. The shooting occurred around noon at the Canfield Green apartments, KSDK added.

A St. Louis County Police spokesman Brian Schellman reported that "a couple hundred people" exited nearby apartment buildings after the shooting, but he didn't say what prompted the shooting by the Ferguson officer.
