Citing security fears, Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson, who fatally shot Michael Brown Aug. 9, has resigned from the police department. Wilson, 28, whom the grand jury declined to indict in connection with the shooting, had been a member of the city's police department for six years. In a telephone interview Saturday evening, Wilson said he resigned after the police department told him it had received threats that violence would ensue if he remained an employee. "I'm resigning of my own free will," he said. "I'm not willing to let someone else get hurt because of me."
