Two police officers were shot in front of the Ferguson, Missouri, police station last night during a protest held in the wake of police chief Tom Jackson’s resignation on Wednesday. A 41-year-old St. Louis County officer was shot in the shoulder, while an officer from nearby Webster Groves sustained a bullet to the face. The injuries were not considered life-threatening. “I’ve said all along that we cannot sustain this forever without problems,“ St. Louis County police chief Jon Belmar said after the shootings. “We have seen in law enforcement that this is a very, very, very dangerous environment for the officers to work in regarding the amount of gunfire that we have experienced up there.“ The shooter remains at large.
