Charles,

A clarification/distinction needs to be made. There are multiple police departments involved here. There’s a St. Louis PD (which is the city police force within St. Louis proper) and the St. Louis County Police, which is involved in this case (and whose officer was involved in the shooting this morning).

That’s in addition to the Ferguson PD and state police, plus mutual support from other local police departments involved.

So far, Johnson has not been interviewed by either the Ferguson PD or the St. Louis County Police.

The St. Louis city police are not involved in this matter.

.@slmpd is not handling the shooting investigation in #Ferguson. We encourage anyone with information to contact @stlcountypd.
