Police in Ferguson, Missouri, have released video footage of the moments before a teenager was shot by officers on the anniversary of Michael Brown's death.
Tyrone Harris, 18, was shot Sunday by plainclothes officers, and authorities say the video appears to show him pulling a weapon from his waistband. Harris is in critical condition and is charged with four counts of assault on law enforcement, five counts of armed criminal action, and one count of shooting at a motor vehicle, NBC News reports. The video was given to the police by a local business.
