Ferguson, Missouri — The St. Louis County Police Department released its critical incident briefing of a December police shooting that left a man dead after he shot at officers. The briefing is related to the Dec. 12 police shooting of Jeremi Moore, a 35-year-old man police said shot at officers. Police were called to the 600 block of Carson Rd. shortly after 8:30 p.m. for a man flourishing a handgun. Officers were searching for Moore and found him around 8:30 p.m. in the 600 block of Tiffin Avenue. Police said the man pulled out a gun and shot at them. One of the officers shot back at the man, killing him. The two Ferguson police officers who were fired upon were not injured. Still, they called for backup and several area departments responded, including the North County Police Cooperative and St. Louis County Police Department. Police said first responders administered aid, but Moore died a short time later. A gun was found about 10 feet from Moore, and a shell casing police said was fired from the gun was found behind the home.
