FERGUSON, Mo., Oct. 23 (UPI) -- An autopsy report and interviews in the Michael Brown case appear to support the version of events by the Missouri cop who fatally shot the teen, but critics and the Justice Department are blasting the leak of the information to the press.
The autopsy revealed a gunshot wound to one of Brown's hands, indicating that he was shot at close range, and not from yards away with his hands raised as protesters have said. Other clues point to signs of a struggle in Officer Darren Wilson's car. Wilson has said he fired on Brown as the teen fought violently for control of the officer's gun and punched him.
