Fatal Cop Shooting of Antonio Martin in Berkeley, Missouri Sparks Clashes

A cop fatally shot a teenager at a gas station late Tuesday just miles from Ferguson, Missouri, police said, setting off angry clashes between demonstrators and officers.

St. Louis County Police confirmed in a statement that an officer from the city of Berkeley had "fired several shots," saying the cop was "fearing for his life" after a male allegedly pulled out a handgun and pointed it at him. A handgun was recovered at the scene, police added.

Police did not confirm the victim's identity, but a distraught woman at the scene identified herself to reporters as Toni Martin and said that her 18-year-old son, Antonio Martin, was the victim.
