There was a police-involved shooting this morning in North St. Louis in the same area where a Tuskegee airman was robbed and carjacked this week.
One person is dead.
The suspect fired on police.
Protesters immediately gathered on the streets and began taunting police.
Bottles were thrown at police officers.
