Michael Brown’s preliminary autopsy report, which was obtained by The New York Daily News, shows that trigger happy police officer, Darren Wilson was not trying to arrest or subdue the 18-year-old teenager, no, the officer was out to make sure that Brown die on the spot for the unthinkable crime of walking on the street.
According to the report, Wilson pumped at least 6 bullets into Brown’s body, the fatal wound struck Brown near the top of his skull and suggested he was bent forward when it hit.
The autopsy, which was also reported by The Wall Street Journal and CNN, came on the same day that Attorney General Eric Holder ordered an additional autopsy to be performed as part of the federal investigation into Brown’s death.
“Due to the extraordinary circumstances involved in this case and at the request of the Brown family, Attorney General Holder has instructed Justice Department officials to arrange for an additional autopsy to be performed by a federal medical examiner,” DOJ spokesman Brian Fallon said in a statement Sunday. “This independent examination will take place as soon as possible.”
Brown, an unarmed African-American 18-year-old, was fatally shot by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson last Saturday. The autopsy reported that there was no gunpowder on Brown’s body, suggesting that the bullets might not have been not fired at close range. The report said that determination could change depending on whether gunpowder is found on Brown’s clothing, which have not yet been examined.
