ED LAVANDERA, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The grass left stained with his blood.</s>CHIEF SAM DOTSON, ST. LOUIS POLICE: There were two officers in the alley, both officers fired, the suspect was struck. He dropped his gun and continued to run through a gangway until he collapsed.</s>LAVANDERA: Police say four guns were recovered from the shooting scene, three of them stolen. Tonight police brace for more violence, worried about relations between police and the public since the shooting death of Michael Brown just over a year ago, just miles away in Ferguson.</s>LAVANDERA: John, the clergy members that met with the police chief and the mayor here in St. Louise credited with the way they responded last night during the violence and the outbreak of those protests. The police chief says if confronted with the same situation tonight, they will respond the same way. They do point out that they believe it is a band of criminals within these lawful protesters that are causing the problems. This is a much more difficult area to control, the police given the neighborhoods that they are working in. Obviously calls for calm and peace once again going out throughout the streets of St. Louis -- John.</s>JOHN BERMAN, CNN GUEST ANCHOR: All right, Ed Lavandera in St. Louis. Let's hope for a quiet night there. Thanks, Ed. In our Politics Lead, President Jimmy Carter upbeat and smiling, as he vows to fight cancer that he has said has now spread to his brain.
