Protesters are spinning that another “boy” has been shot. Police say no, but Occupy folks et al are trying to gin up another riot.

This was the same leftist organ that promoted Occupy.

Actually making things up as they go along:

Police say only cop shot, suspect ran:

Protesters celebrating cop shot, while claiming anger and spreading story of “boy” shot.

Protesters praying that cop shot is dead:

Update:

Police officer shot is a woman, some reports shot in arm, still alive. Suspect on the run.

Via STL Dispatch:

A Ferguson police officer was shot Saturday night, according to St. Louis County Police Department spokesman Brian Schellman. The officer, a woman, is still alive, Schellman said.

The shooting occurred in the 1000 block of Smith Avenue in Ferguson, near the new Ferguson Community Center.

Dozens of police cars from numerous jurisdictions converged on the area after the shooting. The shooter is reported to have fled into nearby woods.

Police have established a staging area near the St. Peters Evangelical Church of Christ on West Florissant Avenue.

Officers are still searching for the shooter, according to St. Louis County Police.

Update:

More shots fired:

Update:

Reports that officer came upon two suspects in midst of a burglary and was shot. Reports are now that officer was man, not a woman.

Update:

This is getting crazy if it wasn’t already. Reports are now that there was a second officer shot at. The first officer, was shot while checking the local community center and is at the hospital. The second officer was just shot at in a separate incident. Obviously, this information is very fluid, and we will try to keep you updated.

Here’s the official report on the first shooting from police:

Via STL Dispatch:

A Ferguson police officer was shot Saturday night. The officer, a man, survived the shooting, authorities said.

The shooting occurred in the 1000 block of Smith Avenue in Ferguson, near the new Ferguson Community Center.

Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson said Saturday night that the officer was on routine patrol and spotted two suspects trying to break into a business. He said the business was in Ferguson.

When the officer confronted the suspects, Jackson said, one of them pulled a gun and fired at the officer. The officer was struck once in the arm, and was expected to be okay.

At a news conference near the Ferguson Police Department early Sunday, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar gave the same account of the shooting as Jackson.

He added that police fired at the suspects at some point during the altercation. But there is no evidence that they were hit. “We have no indication either suspect was shot,” Belmar said.

The second officer who was shot at was shot in Berkeley, which is actually about 13 minutes from the location of the first shooting. He was not wounded by gunfire, but was injured when hit with flying glass. There is no indication yet that the shooters would have had any way of knowing he was a police officer, since he was in his personal car.
