FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — Authorities say police shot and killed a man in a Ferguson street after he twice fired on officers following a report that he had been brandishing a weapon. The St. Louis County Police Department said Monday that detectives are investigating the fatal shooting that occurred Sunday night. Four county officers were involved. Police did not identify the man who died or name the officers involved. Authorities say the suspect first fired on a Ferguson officer called to the scene and then county officers who arrived to help. Ferguson saw months of protests in 2014 over the fatal shooting of an unarmed 18-year-old Black man by a city officer.
