Two Officers shot in #Ferguson [VIDEO]
About four shots were fired hitting two officers in Ferguson.
Shots sounded like they were from the hill street (behind the protesters) overlooking the Ferguson Police Department.
One was shot in the face, the other in the shoulder. -CNN
Moment of shooting
Broadcast live streaming video on Ustream
And here is CNN’s copy of the video
