Police officer shot in Ferguson, Mo.; search on for suspect

Written By kolimtiga on Minggu, 28 September 2014 | 12.56

A Ferguson, Mo., police officer was shot in the arm late Saturday night while responding to a report of a burglary, said Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson.

The shooter fled, Jackson said. The condition of the officer was not released, said St. Louis County Police Department spokesman Brian Schellman.

Ferguson has been roiled by unrest since Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old, was shot and killed by Officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9.

No further details about the officer's shooting Saturday were released.

An online livestream of the situation showed a crowd has gathered near an area where police had also converged. KMOV-TV reported that a police staging area was near West Florissant Avenue and Stein Road, several blocks north of where Michael Brown was killed.

At one point, Missouri Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson appeared on scene and told the crowd, "An officer has been shot." He also told the crowd to disperse.

A grand jury is examining evidence in Brown's shooting and will determine whether Wilson will face any charges.

Some in the community, including Brown's parents, have called on Ferguson's police chief to step down. In a video earlier this week, Jackson said to Brown's family that he was "deeply sorry for their loss."
