After results of a preliminary autopsy report have come in, mother of Missouri teen, Michael Brown, is now convinced the police officer who shot her son should be arrested. Brown was unarmed when Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, 28, shot him on a street. The eight-teen year old was shot at least six times, including twice in the head. None of the bullets entered through his back and three were recovered from his body. Officials say Brown could have survived all the shots, except for the shot to the top of his head exiting through his right eye, which they believe sustained last. The Justice Department is operating a separate inquiry that looks into possible civil rights violations. About 40 FBI agents had been deployed to the investigation at the start to assist in canvassing the local neighborhoods for witnesses.
