WASHINGTON -- The St. Louis County grand jury announced on Monday that it will not indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of unarmed teenager Michael Brown.

The decision led to renewed clashes between protesters and police in Ferguson, Missouri, similar to the unrest that followed Brown's death on Aug. 9. The incident occurred after a confrontation between Brown, a black 18-year-old, and Wilson, a white police officer. Accounts differ on what transpired between the two men: Many eyewitnesses said Brown had his hands up and was trying to surrender when he was shot and killed, while Wilson and other witnesses said Brown attacked the officer and was trying to grab his gun.
