Hundreds Of Protesters Block Pittsburgh Road After Police Shootingplay icon

Hundreds of protesters called for justice after police killed Antwon Rose, an unarmed black teenager earlier this week. The protesters blocked a major roadway in the Pittsburgh area before they dispersed peacefully.

Rose, 17, was shot and killed by an East Pittsburgh police officer as he ran from a vehicle after it was stopped by police. The officers were searching for suspect in an earlier drive-by shooting, police said earlier this week.

The death of Rose was the latest in a string of killings of black men by police that have triggered street protests and fueled a renewed national debate about bias in the U.S. criminal justice system.
