Violence breaks out near site of vigil for teen killed by police : News

In a news conference Sunday morning, Belmar, the county police chief,
said the Ferguson officer had an encounter with two “individuals” about
noon Saturday and that Brown pushed the officer back into his car and
“assaulted” him in the vehicle.

Belmar said one shot was fired by
the officer’s gun inside the car during the struggle, hitting no one,
and that the officer then fired multiple times as Brown ran away. Brown
fell dead in the street. Belmar said the crime scene covered a distance
of just 35 feet.

On March 31, Doctors Without Borders,
which has intervened in many Ebola outbreaks, called this one
“unprecedented,” and warned that the disease had erupted in so many
locations that fighting it would be enormously difficult.
Now, with 1,779 cases, including 961 deaths and a small cluster in Nigeria,
the outbreak is out of control and still getting worse. Not only is it
the largest ever, but it also seems likely to surpass all two dozen
previous known Ebola outbreaks combined. Epidemiologists predict it will
take months to control, perhaps many months, and a spokesman for the
World Health Organization said thousands more health workers were needed
to fight it.
