(SOUNDBITE)(English) BOB McCULLOGH, ST LOUIS COUNTY PROSECUTOR, SAYING:
"They discussed and debated the evidence among themselves before arriving at their collective decision. After their exhaustive review of the evidence, the grand jury deliberated over two days making their final decision. They determined that no probable cause exists to file any charge against Officer Wilson and returned a no true bill on each of the five indictments."
Shortly after the announcement there were reports of gunshots being fired, and bottles being hurled.
