A 20-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a shooting outside the headquarters of the Ferguson police department that injured two officers. He was charged........
The two officers were injured during heated protests outside the police department after the resignation of the city’s police chief who stepped down in the wake of a Justice Department report that documented widespread racial bias in the city. Biases that have gained national attention since the shooting of a black teen Michael Brown.
A handgun recovered matched shell casings found from the scene of the shooting.
It appears Williams [suspect] was the only person who fired any shots but there may be other people who were "participants." The investigation is ongoing.
Attorney General Eric Holder released a written statement on the arrest, saying it "sends a clear message that acts of violence against our law enforcement personnel will never be tolerated."
A statement on behalf of the Fraternal Order of Police in St. Louis said, "We are relieved for our brother officers, their families and the people of Ferguson that this dangerous gunman is off the street and behind bars where he belongs.
The man who shot at the police didn't help any one by his criminal act. Not his race, nor other races, not the elderly, nor the very young, not the business nor the town. It is just pure ignoranance and psychotic hate.
