New Witness Confirms Michael Brown Fled, Put Hands in Air 
----------------------------------------------------------


 
An eyewitness who saw the police shooting of Michael Brown has largely
confirmed the accounts of earlier witnesses who said Brown was fleeing
from police officer Darren Wilson. The witness is a worker who did not
know Brown and had no ties to Ferguson. He told the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch he saw Wilson chase Brown and fire at him while his back
was turned, before Brown stumbled and put his hands up in the air in an
apparent gesture of surrender.
