(Reuters) - Police were seeking suspects on Sunday in what appeared to be the unrelated shootings of two police officers in and near the Missouri city of Ferguson, which remains on edge after a black teenager was shot to death by a white police officer last month.
The Saturday night shooting of an officer in theSt. Louis suburb of Ferguson did not seem linked to peaceful protests occurring elsewhere in the city, police said, nor was it connected to a separate shooting involving an off-duty police officer in St. Louis early Sunday.
Neither officer received life-threatening injuries, according to the St. Louis County Police Department.
No arrests had been made as of Sunday afternoon, Police Sergeant Brian Schellman said.
In the first incident, the officer had seen a man in the rear of the Ferguson Community Center at about 9 p.m. on Saturday. The man ran away and then turned and shot the officer in the arm during a foot chase, Schellman said.
Do these creeps actually think they're justified shooting cops because officer Wilson was forced to shoot the overfed thug Brown?
ReplyDeleteBecause that just seems too stupid. But, then, there are people who still think Trayvon was innocent and Zimmerman stalked him and killed him because he was black... so, there is a LOT of stupid in the world.
