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.

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.
