Hundreds march to Ferguson police station

FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — Clergy members led several hundred people on a march today, using a bullhorn to read the names of people killed by police nationwide, in the Missouri city where protesters have been unremitting since unarmed 18-year-old was fatally shot by a police officer.

Protesters marched from a church to police headquarters in Ferguson, the St. Louis suburb where Michael Brown was fatally shot in August. Marchers, who were met by about 40 officers in riot gear, began chanting, “We Shall Overcome.”

The march marked the third straight day of organized rallies in Ferguson. Protests have been common since Brown, who was black, was killed by a white police officer on Aug. 9. But tensions escalated last week when a white police officer in nearby St. Louis shot and killed 18-year-old Vonderrit Myers Jr., who police say shot at police before he was killed.
