Darren Wilson resigns from Ferguson Police Department

Citing threats of violence, Darren Wilson, who fatally shot Michael Brown Aug. 9, resigned from the Ferguson Police Department on Saturday.

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the 28-year-old cop worked for the city's police department for six years.

“I’m resigning of my own free will,” he said. “I’m not willing to let someone else get hurt because of me.”

A grand jury declined to indict Wilson in connection with the shooting.
