Shots In ferguson: Two Police Officers Shot Dead In Ferguson

 I am Sure everyone remembers the Michael Brown story in Ferguson. The Young teenager that was shot down unarmed by a white Police officer.

Well, in the early hours of this morning 12th March, two police officers were shot during the protest outside the Missouri police department in Ferguson. The Ferguson Lt. Col. Al Eickhoff said he did not believe either of the officers were part of his department. He could not provide details on their injuries.

 

CNN reports, that none of those from the Ferguson Police Department was struck rather,, a 14-year veteran of the St. Louis County Police Department, was shot in the shoulder. The other, a 7-year veteran of the Webster Groves Police Department, was struck in the face.

The officers were in serious condition Thursday morning. It's not clear who the shooter was.

A few dozen demonstrators fled following the sound of gunfire around midnight with some screaming, "They hit a cop," according to a Reuters photographer at the scene. Police could not be reached immediately for comment.
Several dozen protesters had gathered in front of the Ferguson police department earlier on Wednesday night, just hours after the city's police chief, Thomas Jackson, announced his resignation.

Protesters had called for Jackson's removal since the fatal shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown by white Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9, 2014. The killing triggered nationwide protests and drew scrutiny to police use of deadly force, especially against black men.

Jackson's departure was the latest in a string of officials who stepped down following a scathing report from the U.S. Justice Department that found widespread racially biased abuses in the city's police department and municipal court.
