Two police officers have been shot near a protest in Ferguson,
Mo.
“Two officers shot in #Ferguson,” St. Louis
Post-Dispatch reporter Susan Weich tweeted at around 12:30 a.m. local time.
“Shots came from a house up the hill across from police station … Witness
said one of cops shot in face … First officer taken away was white.”
At a press conference at around 2:00 a.m. local time, St.
Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said a 44-year-old officer was shot
in the shoulder, and a 32-year-old officer was shot in the face. Both were
conscious and expected to survive.
“This is a very dangerous environment for officers to work
in,” Belmar said. He said while the shots did not come from the protesters, his
officers were targeted while in front of the department. “Police officers were
standing there and they were shot,” he said.
