No indictment over USA’s Ferguson killing

DHAKA: A grand jury has decided not to charge a Missouri police officer over the death of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown, reports BBC.

Announcing the decision, state prosecutor Robert McCulloch said the jury had exhaustively examined the evidence.
Brown's family said they were "profoundly disappointed".

Michael Brown, 18, was killed by Darren Wilson in Ferguson on 9 August. His death sparked weeks of demonstrations.
Police were criticized for responding with military grade riot equipment.

As the decision was announced late on Monday, hundreds of protesters gathered in Ferguson, a suburb of St Louis.
