Latest on Ferguson: Cop injures not expected to be long-term St. Louis County's top official says the shooting of two officers in Ferguson shouldn't be a setback for the community's healing process. Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Mar. 12, 2015 at 7:49 AM By The Associated Press Posted Mar. 12, 2015 at 7:49 AM » Social News 9:30 A.M. St. Louis County's top official says the shooting of two officers in Ferguson shouldn't be a setback for the community's healing process. County Executive Steve Stenger says he supports residents expressing their First Amendment rights, but in a nonviolent way. He says, "I think everyone with reasonable minds would want to avoid situations like this." St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar says a protest outside Ferguson police headquarters appeared to be winding down when the officers were shot just after midnight. He characterized the shooting as an "ambush." He says both officers "are good guys. I'm proud of them." 9 A.M. St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar says the two officers shot during a protest in Ferguson aren't expected to have long-term injuries. Belmar says one of the officers was shot in his face, just below his right eye and the bullet lodged behind his ear. The other officer was shot in his right shoulder, with the bullet leaving out his back. Belmar says the shooting easily could have resulted in two deaths. He cited the two New York City officers who were ambushed in their police cruiser in December. Belmar said, "we could have buried 2 police officers next week over this." 8:45 A.M. U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill is calling for "healing and reform" after the shooting of two police officers outside the Ferguson Police Department. The Missouri senator released a statement Thursday saying "acts of violence have no place in this process." Gunfire that erupted after midnight left a 32-year-old officer from nearby Webster Groves with a facial wound and a 41-year-old officer from St. Louis County with a shoulder wound. Both were rushed to a hospital. St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar described their injuries as serious. The shootings followed a scathing Justice Department report alleging bias in the police department and court. McCaskill says she hoped for a "full recovery" for the officers and added that she was praying for them and their families. 8 A.M. St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar is planning a news conference to further address the shooting of two police officers during a protest outside the Ferguson Police Department. A 32-year-old officer from nearby Webster Groves was shot in the face and a 41-year-old officer from St. Louis County was shot in the shoulder. Belmar said earlier Thursday that the officers were taken to a hospital, where they are conscious, but that both are seriously injured. He is scheduled to speak again at 9 a.m. at the St. Louis County Police Headquarters. The shootings happened after midnight as demonstrators gathered after the city's police chief resigned in the wake of a scathing Justice Department report alleging bias in the police department and court.
