Officer Darren Wilson, is speaking out publicly for the first time. The Ferguson, Missouri officer shares his account of the moment he shot and killed black teenager Michael Brown. In an interview with ABC News he says that Brown refused to listen to his instructions to stop running and began to charge him:

He continues:

And eight to 10 feet is close and what I saw was his head. If he’s gonna tackle me, he’s gonna tackle me at that point. And I looked down my barrel of my gun and I fired.
As previously reported, the tragic incident took place on Aug. 9 and has drawn national attention. Here’s what Officer Wilson says what happened.
