As Twitchy reported earlier, the Normandy Police Department released a statement Wednesday giving the details of an incident in which an 18-year-old fired at police officers before running off and attempting to take his own life.

Residents and those following the story on social media immediately suspected a conspiracy, and several amateur videos of witnesses and the teen’s father allege that not only was the teen shot by police, but by members of the nearby Ferguson Police Department.

I asked Mr. Gibbons of #Ferguson PD for a report and he said #Normandy has it. I said I heard they shot a boy to death.

Something else troubling. Normandy PD claim officers didn't see victim shoot himself. They "found" him unresponsive. pic.twitter.com/zJSN46XqgE

"The Police shot him he did not kill himself at all."

I don't care about your #GOPDebate I care that young black boys/girls are being murdered & brutalized by Feral Pigs. #Ferguson #Normandy

You cannot drench a boy in his own blood and tell the world he put it there. #Normandy #Ferguson

Here's why you should care about #NormandyShooting.
1) It's next door to #Ferguson. Their PD was on site, maybe opened fire w/ Normandy PD
— Sean (@SeanSharesStuff) October 29, 2015
2) Witnesses on site have been giving VERY different stories than the initial or subsequent police accounts. #NormandyShooting
— Sean (@SeanSharesStuff) October 29, 2015
3) Police have been claiming the 19yo victim (still alive) fired at them then shot himself… after they tazed him. #NormandyShooting
— Sean (@SeanSharesStuff) October 29, 2015
The Huffington Post’s reporter on the scene has named the gunshot victim.
18-year-old gunshot victim in Normandy is #AmonderezGreen
