2 Police Officers Shot During Overnight Protests in Ferguson


A day after Ferguson police chief Thomas Jackson resigned, two police officers were shot at an overnight protest in Ferguson, MO. According to county police chief Jon Belmar, one officer was hit in the shoulder while another police officer was struck in the face. "These police officers were standing there, and they were shot just because they were police officers," said Jon. At least three shots were fired, but police have not determined where they came from. Tensions stayed high throughout the night due to a recent Department of Justice report that revealed racial bias in the city's police department. The officers are listed as being in serious condition.
