Two Officers Are Shot Outside Ferguson Police Station
Two St. Louis County police officers were shot early Thursday outside the Ferguson police station, the county police said. The officers’ conditions were not known.
The shootings followed protests by several dozen demonstrators, which included occasional clashes with the police and a few arrests. But the situation had been relatively calm for about half an hour when several shots rang out from a distance, and protesters and police officers alike went to the ground.
After the gunfire stopped, several officers appeared to be dragging a colleague back toward the police station.
The incident came less than a day after Ferguson’s police chief, Thomas Jackson, agreed to resign as part of a shake-up of the city administration following a scathing Justice Department report on constitutional abuses in the local law enforcement system.
