FERGUSON, MO (KTVI)- St. Louis County Police have confirmed to FOX 2 that the suspected shooter of two police officers early Thursday morning outside of the Ferguson police department is in custody.
The two officers were shot just after midnight, as many protestors were headed home following a night of protests after the resignation of the city’s police chief.
One of the wounded officers is from Webster Groves Police and was shot in the cheek, just under his right eye. The other wounded officer is with the St. Louis County Police and was hit in the shoulder and the bullet came out the middle of his back. Both men were treated and released.
Law enforcement sources told The Washington Post that a local man was arrested in the late morning on Sunday and that the weapon believed to have been used in the shooting has been recovered.
Williams is initially charged with 2 counts of 1st degree Felony Assault - he was on probation and previous warrants issue for receiving stolen goods and 7 months of not reporting to his parole officer.
Do hate crimes include hate crimes against occupations?
(In this case .. police)
I thought that it was only a hate crime when whitey attacks a minority?
My bet, a black shot two whites out of racial hatred for the killing of a black thug. Not enough details but that's a pretty good guess based on past behavior. Ibama and Sharpton could have calmed this situation long ago. Instead they inflamed it.
If I am wrong I'll be the first to admit it.
