From what I have heard, the person who died, Michael Brown, had just robbed a store. Other officers were answering the call for that theft, however, the officer who shot Brown, Darren Wilson, was not. Wilson actually tried confronting Brown because him and his buddy were disrupting traffic. I'm guessing they were walking in the street. Wilson approached them in his vehicle, but Brown slammed the door as he was trying to get out. I'm going to make an educated guess that Brown thought Wilson was stopping him to talk about the robbery. Wilson tried to get out, again, and that's when he was assaulted by Brown. If I remember correctly, Brown actually broke some bone in Wilson's skull. Wilson claims Brown was going for the gun and they struggled for it, and it went off. This is when Brown ran away. Wilson stepped out and told him to freeze. Brown then turned around and charged at Wilson. Wilson then fired a few shots into Brown's arm, but Brown apparently kept coming, so Wilson continued to fire at Brown, killing him.
