US police shoot dead black teenager at Missouri gas station

An 18-year-old black teenager was shot and killed by police at a gas station late on Dec. 23 in a St. Louis suburb near where unarmed teen Michael Brown was killed by a white officer in August, police and local media said.

A live video feed showed the gas station cordoned off by yellow tape and lined by police officers, with bystanders shouting at them in a tense standoff.
