The AP, quoting Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson, says the victim was unarmed.KSDK-TV, St. Louis, reports: "Belmar said the incident started when Brown physically assaulted the police officer, pushing him into the officer's vehicle. He said there was a struggle inside the car, and at some point Brown reached for the officer's weapon. One shot was fired inside the vehicle."The AP says the struggle then "spilled out into the street where the teenager was shot. ... Shell casings found at the scene matched the officers' gun.
