Protests Are Starting Again In St. Louis After Cops Fatally Shot A Black Teenager
Weeks after protests over the shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown started to subside, police in another St. Louis suburb have reportedly shot and killed an 18-year-old black man at a gas station.
Information on the shooting is thin so far, but large crowds have already started to form at the scene in Berkeley, Missouri.
Police have not yet commented on the shooting and it's so far unclear why 18-year-old Antonio Martin was shot, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. It's also unclear whether or not Martin was armed.
Here's a look at the crowds forming at the Mobil gas station in Berkeley:
