Two police officers are shot in Ferguson

FERGUSON • Two police officers were hit by gunfire early Thursday outside the Ferguson police department.

The shots were fired as police were confronting protesters who had gathered outside the police station.

Ferguson Lt. Col. Al Eickhoff said he didn't think either of the officers were from his department. He also didn't know the extent of their injuries. Eickhoff was not at the scene at the time of the shooting but he said he was headed there.

A police source said one of the officers is a St. Louis County officer and the other a Webster Groves officer. The officers were taken to Barnes-Jewish Hospital. The source said both officers are expected to survive.

The shots rang out as the protests appeared to be dwindling. Some of the protesters fell to the ground and others ran.

Several members of the media, including a Post-Dispatch reporter and photographer, were near the officers who were hit.

The shots appeared to come from the direction of a block of homes on Tiffin Avenue that intersects West Florissant Avenue, where the police department is located. Witnesses reported two to four shots.

The shooting brought a much larger contingent of officers, many with high-powered rifles, to the scene.

“Cops in Ferguson are starting to feel the wrath of there actions... Ferguson is slowly going to be cleaned up when the Mayor goes, you can push people just so far, and then they will finally push back, and the Ferguson Cops have not figured this out yet, but they will eventually.... I am sorry this happened but the Ferguson Cops created this environment they are currently in.....BZ"

Y'all do realize this just puts the cops one step closer to marshal law. Martin Luther King didn't envision this for our people. An now people are just adding fuel to the fire the government already is lookin for more ways to restrict human rights especially for blacks and we jst given them ammunition. Instead of doing marches and filling lawsuits and petitions niggas think picking up a gun and shooting a INNOCENT cop is gonna fix shit but it'll only make matters worse. An yes I say innocent cuz most cops that get shot are the ones really doing there job like the cop in Atl who respond to gun shots in a neighborhood and got shot in the back of the head. He responded to a criminal act of a person shooting a gun in a public residents which is a crime. He wasnt harresing anyone when he got killed worst of all he was a black cop and y'all couldn't give to fcks another black life was lost and did his death fix shit. Misdirected hate got him killed for no reason when he was jst doing his job while the real bad cops who killed mick brown and other black's still roam free. If ur gonna kill a cop at least kill the ones who are known for doing dirty b.s in your community not the ones who are jst doing there dirty to investigate a crime

i feel where u comin from but lawsuits and petitions dont tend to work for niggas, and when innocent cops get shot they need to look at the bullshit cops that caused anna against em, its hard for me to have compassion for cops innocent or not, especially the ones in ferguson

You make a couple of good points but protesting and marchings has its limit. Plus the Ferguson poluce department is racist as fuck and was having a tast of its own medicine. If we had a powerful black lobby akin to AIPAC or the ADL these cops wouldnt dare. We need an economic revolution. If we focus inward we would be a force to reckoned with. The government only resepcts money and if you have both political and economical power things will change.
