This incident is getting special attention due to Normandy’s proximity to Ferguson, Mo., and because the video was captured by Ferguson PD bodycams (Normandy is not equipped with the devices).
The City of Ferguson released a statement on twitter saying that Ferguson Police did not shoot a suspect:
.@stlcountypd are investigating a shooting involving a resident today. Despite rumors, Ferguson PD did not shoot a suspect.
