Black Suspect Tyrone Harris Charged with Assault After Opening Fire on St. Louis County Police

The dude wasn't a "victim" of a "police shooting" during "peaceful protests" in Ferguson.

The fucker opened fire at cops with a stolen 9mm. And this chump was a "good friend" of Michael Brown.

Because social justice.

At the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, "Northwoods man charged with assault after shootout with police during Ferguson protests":


ST. LOUIS • A Northwoods man shot by police Sunday night during street protests in Ferguson was charged Monday with four counts of assault on police and other charges.

Tyrone Harris, 18, of the 6700 block of Donald Street in Northwoods, was charged with four counts of first-degree assault on a law enforcement officer, five counts of armed criminal action and shooting at or from a motor vehicle. Bail for Harris was set at $250,000 cash.

Police said in court records that at 11:23 p.m., Harris was running in the 9200 block of West Florissant Avenue during street demonstrations and firing shots. Harris fired at least one shot into an officer's vehicle, and that police officer returned fire, the documents say. Officers got out of their car and chased Harris, who fired shots at them as he fled.

Police critically wounded Harris and said they recovered a 9mm Sig Sauer semiautomatic pistol next to his body. Harris was still hospitalized Monday.

Harris has a court date later this month in another case.

He faces charges in St. Louis of stealing a motor vehicle, theft of a firearm and resisting arrest by fleeing. He is scheduled to go on trial in St. Louis Circuit Court on Aug. 31.

According to the complaint filed by a city police officer, Harris is accused of stealing a Dodge Intrepid and a 9 mm semiautomatic pistol from someone who lives on the 1400 block of Union Boulevard on Nov. 3 between 1 a.m. and 7:35 a.m. The next day, an officer saw the car, and other detectives arrived to help keep an eye on the car and set up spike strips. After two police officers tried to pull the car over by activating lights and sirens, the car sped off and went the wrong way down Theodosia Avenue, forcing a car off the road. The Intrepid then hit the spike strips and stopped just over the St. Louis County line.

As an officer approached the car, he observed Harris as he removed the stolen 9mm pistol from his waistband and put it between the seat and console, the complaint said.

Harris admitted to the officer that he had stolen the car and gun, the complaint said.

A trial had been scheduled for July 20, but was postponed because a witness was unavailable, according to court records.
