Not to diminish the fact that this was an horrendous act, but to hear the initial reports in the media and places like 'The Drudge Report', one would have assumed that the officers were in critical condition and/or near death as a result of their wounds. Now it's been announced, barely more than 12 hours after the shootings, that they've both been released from the hospital and are now at home resting. I've got to say that there must be some tremendous healing powers in that local St. Louis hospital, or else their injuries were not as life threatening nor as serious as was first reported by the national media.

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.
