Independent Autopsy Findings Show Michael Brown was Shot Six Times

An independent autopsy has found Michael Brown, 18, was shot by a
Ferguson police officer six times, including twice in the head.

On Sunday evening police dispersed angry crowds shortly before a
second consecutive night under curfew began.

The mother of Michael Brown has called for the arrest of the officer
who killed her son on 9 August. He has been suspended pending a full
investigation.

Officials last week confirmed that Darren Wilson, a six-year police
veteran with no previous complaints against him, has been on paid
administrative leave since the shooting.

In an interview with US media, Mr Brown's mother said the only way to
restore peace in Ferguson was by "arresting [Mr Wilson] and making him
accountable for his actions".

A preliminary post-mortem examination by the St Louis County Medical
Examiner's office on the day after Mr Brown's death found he had been
shot, police said, without disclosing how many times.

But a preliminary private post-mortem report has since revealed that
he was shot at least six times, including twice in the head, the New
York Times reports.

The probable fatal shot entered the top of Mr Brown's head, forensic
pathologist Michael Baden was quoted by the paper as saying.
