Wesley Lowery of WaPo tweeted this article, but no confirmation.

    Police say Michael Brown 30 ft away from Darren Wilson when shot. @ShaunKing lays out argument that it was 100 ft storify.com/VeryWhiteGuy/s…

it was only when mike brown stopped and surrendered that wilson was able to shoot him at 100ft.

    Several officers wrote me days after the Mike Brown murder, stumped, as to how Darren Wilson missed so many shots @ such a close range.

wilson missed 6 shots. officers argued that it would be difficult to miss so many at a 35ft range. the size of mike brown also lends to the officer's confusion. when mike brown became a still, surrendering target, wilson was able to shoot him at a 100ft range.
