Suspect Arrested in Shooting of 2 Officers in Ferguson. The 20 year old claims that he is not a demonstrator, however the police department begs to differ.

“had nothing to do with the demonstrations that were going on.” Mr. Williams indicated that he was firing at the people he had the dispute with, the prosecutor said.“He is a demonstrator,” Mr. McCulloch said. “He was out there earlier that evening as part of the demonstration. He’s been out there on other occasions, part of the demonstrations.”

.

It doesn’t matter who the intended target was…… He shouldn’t be shooting at anyone and as a result of his actions 2 officers got hurt.The department believes the announcement of Ferguson police chief, Thomas Jackson, was resigning is what caused the demonstration in that area.

The two officers — one from the county police and the other from the nearby Webster Groves department — were standing shoulder to shoulder as part of a protective line facing demonstrators across the street from the police station. At least three gunshots came from a distance behind the demonstrators, as much as 125 yards away, the authorities said.The demonstration followed an announcement that the Ferguson police chief, Thomas Jackson, was resigning.
