We have breaking news this morning from ferguson missouri. Two Police Officers have been shot following protests outside the Ferguson Police department. [ gunshots ] [ bleep ]. You can hear it on that video right there. St. Louis county police chief jon belmar says the officers came from neighboring departments. Helping out ferguson officers. We will play some sound right now from chief belmar. After you hear him explain what happened you will hear from a witness who was there when the officers were shot. The night was fairly uneventful until about midnight. At midnight the crowd was starting to break up. Several protesters started to leave the area. To the immediate north northwest of the Ferguson Police department several shots were fired. At least three. Two officers were struck. St. Louis county officer struck in the shoulder and webster grove Police Officer struck in the face. Both officers are here right now and being treated. I dont have an official status on what their condition is right now. They are conscious. Probably 30 feet away from the crowd. All of a sudden i heard four to five shots rang out. I know the area. I know the shots came from at least over by the grassy area beyond the subway. Nowhere near the protesters. Im thinking about trying to rebuild what happened. It took me at least 30 seconds of watching before i realized there is an officer down. When i figured that out, everybody figured it out at the same point. We just began to run. That was probably the fastest i ever run in my life. All of the cops were down on their knees down with guns drawn. They were lifting the cop away and pulling him away. We have information here about the officers. One was 41 years old from st. Louis county. He had been a Law Enforcement officer for 14 years. A 32yearold officer from webster grove. A fiveyear veteran of the force. The 41yearold shot in the shoulder. The 32yearold shot in the face. They conscious. Chief belmar said these are injuries and they are monitored closely with their loved ones in the hospital. They have been brought in because ferguson Police Officers since august have been facing protests and scuffles. Not so much on a nightly basis, but from time to time the resignation of the Ferguson Police chief is one of the reasons why so many people had come to the streets last night. They were protesting and in cases celebrating the resignation of the police chief. Chief belmar said he was concerned about the officers for months. He said ironically overnight, these protests were uneventful and routine until the shots rang out. You can see the protests there occurring for hours before the shots. There were a couple of arrests, you can see right there. The shootings and protests as christine mentioned came hours after the announcement that the police chief in ferguson, tom jackson resigning a week from today with a years pay by the way. He is the latest in the series of officials that were stepping down after the Justice Department faulted the department. The resignation says i will continue to assist the city as a private citizen. There was a different reaction in a text to cnn, quote, its really a hard pill to swallow, apparently he said. Jackson will get one years pay and health benefits. I want to bring in cnns sara sidner. She has been following the story for us since the earliest day. She has been working her sources all night long. What happened before the moments of the shooting and what happened after . A couple of things. From the police we heard two officers have been hit. One in the face. One in the shoulder. Both expected to survive. We do not know the severity of the injuries. We do know from what we are hearing from the chief of the st. Louis county police that the officers are expected to survive. We also know from some of the witnesses i spoken to this morning, the shots appear to have come from a little hill that goes up across street from the Ferguson Police department. There are people that said they saw the flash of a muzzle of a gun go off there. They thought it was fireworks first, they saw the flash go off and realized it was gunfire. That was pointed toward the Police Department. They figured we have to get out of the way. Some of the protesters were frightened. You will see them on video and live stream running out of the way trying to move out of the way. So far, those are the details we are getting. They are consistent. This location close to the Police Department. This is where protesters have gathered last night because they were protesting or celebrating in some cases the resignation of the police chief . Correct. I talked to them this morning and they were out there most of the night. By the time midnight rolled around, things were coming up done. This video, i want to talk about as well. Here is what im told about the particular incident. You notice there were no police in there pushing and shoving and fighting one another. This is a group of protesters. Im told this is a beef between a couple of groups of protesters over things said on twitter. This kind of broke out during all of this. Before the shootings. Tensions were obviously high. When Something Like that happens, everybodys adrenaline goes up. You can see people dragging. You dont see police getting involved. You do later on see the police and some of the protesters pushing and shoving. Which is not unusual when you have a large number of protesters. As the night goes on things get more tense. We have seen this many many times. What is different about this is that not only were you hearing the sound of gunfire but someone actually got hit. In this case two officers. Now the question is who is responsible . Chief belmar says they were shot just because they were Police Officers. He noted they were standing in a group of cops. The shots were parallel to the ground. It wasnt a ricochet or shot that appeared to be by mistake. He believes they were targeted. Sara you were there, he was concerned because of the amount of guns at the scene. We have him talking about how volatile this has been and they expected that something might happen. I want to let you listen to chief belmar the chief of st. Louis county police on that subject. I think we have been fortunate as we move forward not to have similar incidents like this not happen to us. I said all along, we cannot sustain this forever without problems. That is not an indictment on everybody thats out there expressing their First Amendment rights. When have seen in Law Enforcement that this is a very very very dangerous environment for the officers to work in regarding the amount of gunfire that we have experienced up there. This evening, the only shots we were aware of were the shots taken from across the street. In other words, these Police Officers were standing there and they were shot. Just because they were Police Officers. So clearly his belief being that he feels they the officers were targeted. They are still in the investigation phase. We want to be clear that we dont know if this has anything to do with the protests. This could be a long standing beef. We dont know who it was. The protesters themselves in many cases were frightens themselves themselves because they heard the gunshots and dropped to the ground. Now it is a matter of the police to do the investigation to see what happens next. This issue and the worry that things would start to turn on police in a way, we have seen a lot of inciting on the part of a few of some of the protesters. We also have seen protesters out there simply expressing themselves in a peaceful manner. It is a shame to see this turning into violence. We still dont know who did this and who is responsible. We should point out these Police Officers were not ferguson Police Officers. They were officers assisting the Ferguson Police because in the months of the shooting death of Michael Brown, there have been the Ferguson Police department has been reviled by the community and indicted by the people who live there for not being a Police Department that can protect the interests of the public. That is the perception of people who live in ferguson. These are from outside Police Departments coming in to assist. They have been doing that for some time. Although in the last few weeks, it has been so quiet there, it has been 15 to 20 protesters not every night, every now and then. It has been ferguson that has taken on the role of dealing with that. When they get larger the st. Louis county tends to come in to assist. When there is a shooting or something that happens is violent, you see other departments come in to help. Sara you spent so much time there. Where are we now . Chief tom jackson has resigned now. People have been calling for that for months. There is a new chief coming in on an interim basis right now. Is that enough for these protesters . Lieutenant colonel ikoff, the assistant chief, now the interim chief. We heard from the city saying he has the respect of the other officers. He has been there for a very short time. By the way, he got there just before Michael Brown was shot and killed. He has been there through all of the chaos and turmoil and doesnt really know ferguson before that. He is a st. Louis county Police Officer so he knows the area well. Will this be enough . I dont know. There are those that are adamant that the Police Department dissolved and someone else take over the department and the house is cleaned. Residents, both black and white, said we dont actually want that. We want to see our Police Department stay in place. I dont think we can say a blanket statement. The most people we see protests they are asking for that. Those who are quiet are also saying we dont want to see our Police Department dissolve. You dont have one mind in ferguson. It is a dangerous situation. Sure it is. A dangerous situation that has not deescalated since the shooting of Michael Brown. Each development brings more a brittle situation on the ground. How do you deal with that . That is the 1 million question. How do you change the perception and reality on the ground so the community can come together and say all right, lets fix this. And there is Movement Toward that. I have been in some of the meetings. It doesnt get enough press to be honest. Some of that is our fault. I have been in the meetings where the community and mayor for example, are talking together. Im talking about a very diverse crowd of people. Parents both black and white, talking about what do we do to get our children better education and build this community up so we dont have these problems. It is happening. The question is will it be enough to quell the what is going on there now. Lets hope they can move forward there at some level. Lets hope the officers recover in the next few hours. Thank you, sara.

The shootings took place just after protests overnight in ferguson. A violent end to what had been a largely peaceful protest overnight. After the police chief tom jackson announced his resignation. Jackson is the most recent of several Police Officers to step down by the report of the Justice Department. Another embarrassment for the u. S. Secret service. Two senior agents crashing a car, senior agents crashing a government car into a white house barricade. The agents had reportedly been drinking. They were reassigned while the department of Homeland Security investigates. Michelle kosinski has latest. Reporter john and christine secret service owe fwishlsfficials are not confirming the story, but not disputing the story. The two Top Secret Service agents. One is the top two person in the president s detail and the second is a supervisor. They were coming home from a Retirement Party for a spokesperson of secret service. As they got near the white house, they encountered a barricade set up because of the investigation over a suspicious package. They showed their badges and trying to get through the barricade, but inn exdrove but the barricade tape. It is also alleged that the officers at the scene wanted to not only arrest the secret Service Agents but test them if they were sober or not. But the superior on duty ordered the two agents allowed to do on. The director ask that the investigation being held by the Inspector General. They both have been reassigned. Officials not to say this is a temporary reassignment pending the outcome of the investigation, but they are not confirming it is a permanent reassignment. We know these are non superior roles. This looks like yet another embarrassment or scandal for the secret service. John and christine. Michelle kosinski thanks for that. We continue to follow the breaking news this morning in ferguson missouri. Two Police Officers shot overnight. They are expected to survive, but still an investigation into who did the shooting. There have not been arrests here. Progress in the war on isis. The iraqi army making big gains. Could it lead to new trouble down the road. We are live after the break. More progress this morning in the battle to dislodged isis from the city of tikrit. Joint forces now control 75 of the city according to one commander. The joint forces consist of 30,000 men, a mix of iraqi troops sunni fighters and Shiite Militia with advisers from iran. That is viewed as a net plus from the pentagon. Martin dempsey told the Senate ForeignRelations Committee wednesday that the u. S. Is concerned about what iran will do down the road in exchange for its help against isis now. Iran is going to be influence in iraq. Has been influential in iraq. I am concerned about the way they wield that influence. They can wield it to promote a better iraq economically for example. There are ways they can wield that to create a state where the sunni and kurds are no longer welcome. Lets bring in cnns ian lee. Iran has a great interest in iraq and the help in the Shiite Militias and iraqi army helping retake tikrit. How the shiite sunni divide is important for keeping the city and keeping the peace. Reporter christine, that is the big question. Once they take the city they have 75 of it under control, what they do and how they maintain control of that city and really how they treat the local residents who are sunni. There has been sectarian tensions before. They have a poor track records when taking cities with human rights violations. To highlight the difficult enemy they are facing with isis as you said there is roughly 30,000 iraqi forces fighters taking the city. One shiite mannedcommander said there are 150 isis fighters remaining in the city. For every 200 iraqi forces theres one isis fighter. They still havent taken the city. They are not expected to take it they are expected to take it rather in the next following days. This support that iran is giving the Shiite Militias has been invaluable for a lot of these offenses. They have proven to be the Shiite Militias the most effective fighters. Iranian advisers have been able to give them weapons training ammunition as well as were hearing help with artillery and rocket fire as well. The u. S. Has acknowledged they have been instrumental in taking this and helping defeat isis. The question is how much influence will they have afterwards . It looks like and as we have seen, a bit of influence. Ian, lets ask about the Iraqi Military. We know the armamentes that they turned around and left humvees and walked away. Is the Iraqi Military doing a better job here . Reporter we are seeing them fight in a more cohesive unit and cohesive force in the face of isis. They had u. S. Training. They had better equipment. They have been resupplied. They still are not taking the brunt of the fighting. That is left to the Shiite Militias. We have not seen them spearhead anything. The real test is when they take the leading role will they be able to hold their own or will they melt away as we have seen in the past . Or will they melt away. Ian lee, thanks for us in cairo.

To the north northwest of the Ferguson Police department several shots were fired, at least three, and two officers struck. St. Louis county officer struck in the shoulder and webster grove officer struck in the face. Both officers are here right now and treated. I dont have an official status on what their condition is right now. They are conscious. Probably 30 feet away from the crowd. All of a sudden, i heard at least four to five shots rang out. I know that area. I know the shots came from over by the grassy area beyond the subway. Nowhere near the protesters. I mean im thinking about trying to rebuild what happened and it took me at least 30 seconds of watching before i realized there was an officer down. When i figured that out, i think everybody else figured it out at the same point. We just began to run. That was the fastest i ever ran before i got to my car. All of the cops were down on their knees with guns drawn. I could see several of them standing over the cop that was shot. They were lifting him away and pulling him away. Again, two Police Officers shot. One in the shoulder. One in the face. As chief belmar remarked the shooting marked a violent end to a peaceful protest earlier in the evening. A few scuffling did break out. Police arrested two people for those scuffles. Again, there is a shooter on the loose here. The shooter and protest came after the hours of police chief tom jackson is resigning. Resigning one week from today. Jackson is the latest in the series of officials stepped down after the Justice Department released a blistering report that faulted city policies and tactics. His Resignation Letter says i will assist the city in any way i can as a citizen. Then a text to cnn, it is a really hard pill to swallow. Jackson will get one years pay and health benefits. Two Police Officers down and a shooter, presumably, john on the loose. One 32yearold officer from webster grove nearby he was shot in the face. He is a fiveyear veteran on the force. The other officer shot was a 41yearold from st. Louis county. Shot in the shoulder. A 14year veteran of Law Enforcement. They are both conscious right now. They are with family in the hospital right now as they recover. I want do bring you another bit of information. The video of the scuffle. That wasnt between protesters and police. That was between protesters and protesters. What is remarkable is police did not get involved. Sara sidner said that was a social media dispute between two groups arguing about something that someone said on social media. That is what that dispute was about. The police not engaging. They have been careful to engage. The Police Presence has been something that can enflame the crowd. Other than the scuffle here we are told by chief belmar, was largely uneventful. He has been concerned for months since the death of Michael Brown about the safety of Police Officers because there have been gunshots overnight and there have also been a lot of weapons in the area. Listen to what chief belmar had to say about the safety of his officers. And i think we have been very fortunate as we have moved forward not to have similar instances like this happen to us. I have said all along that we cannot sustain this forever without problems. Thats not an indictment on everybody out there expressing their First Amendment rights. We have seen in Law Enforcement that this is a very very dangerous environment for the officers to work in regarding the amount of gunfire we have experienced up there. This evening, the only shots we were aware of were the shots taken from across the street. In other words, these Police Officers were standing there and they were shot just because they were Police Officers. He said the reason he thinks they were shot is just because they were Police Officers. They were standing in a group of just cops. Shots were parallel to the ground. Indicates they were aimed. They were not ricocheted off anything else. There has been other gunfire in recent protests of firing into the air and firing randomly. He says this was a targeting of Police Officers. He said they dont know what kind of a gun it was. They dont know how many shooters. They are talking to witnesses. They just begun the investigation. The two Police Officers are in the hospital. They are conscious. The investigation just beginning. That means there is a shooter on the loose in ferguson missouri. We will bring you the latest as we get it on that investigation and the condition of the two officers as it develops. The other top story. The secret service with another embarrassing incident. Two senior agents one of them in the president s security detail crashing a government car into the white house barricade. The agents were reportedly drinking at a Retirement Party for a colleague.

A witness tells us what he saw right after the break. In our house, we do just about everything online. And our old internet just wasnt cutting it. So i switched us from uverse to xfinity. They have the fastest, most reliable internet. Which is perfect for me, because i think everything should just work. Works . Works. Works works . Works. Works. Our breaking news this morning, two Police Officers shot in ferguson missouri. The officers both of them from neighboring towns. A 41yearold from st. Louis county shot in the shoulder. The webster grove officer shot in the face. They are in the hospital surrounded by their families. This happened after a night of protests in ferguson missouri. Joining us now by phone is protester durae mckessen. Durae, are you with us . I am. Can you describe to me what happened . You know we were the protesters disbursing. It was a long night. It was around midnight. We were there since 8 00. You know we heard some shots. At least four shots. They were in a quick succession. Then i saw an officer fall. I didnt see the other one fall. Then all of the Police Officers took their rifles out. Momentarily very tense. There is a live stream. Someone Live Streaming the protest, deray. You see the moment and people and protesters just scattered. It looked as though the police were standing together. It looked a peaceful protest. Police standing together. The police chief says he thinks the Police Officers were targeted because there were not really protesters standing near them. Is that what you saw . By this time of the night, the police had pushed us and made it clear not to cross the street. That is why there were no protesters near the police. They were arresting people all night on their side of the street. Thats what that was. You know the shots came from nowhere near protesters. In a very different direction. When the shots did happen they were in a straight line. Horizontal line. When the shots came out, they all went behind them. Behind the brick column or the trucks or behind the car. Again, so from your perspective, the shots did not come from where the protests were coming from. Most witnesses concur on that. People pointing to a hill nearby across the Police Station where they believe those shots, at least three, chief belmar said. You heard four. Some said five. Chief belmar says it was his impression these Police Officers were targeted for being Police Officers. The question by whom still remains to be seen. Deray, the chief said he has been concerned about the safety of the officers in ferguson. The ferguson Police Officers themselves and st. Louis county and neighboring communities going to help police. You go out to protests. You are a peaceful protester exercising your First Amendment rights. Have you seen a reason to be concerned about the level of tension and violence on the streets there in ferguson in these last few weeks and months . You know im concern ed about the seven people that have been killed by Police Officers since august. They have killed seven people. Averaging one a month since mike brown got killed. People are afraid for their lives out here. That is the only thing i can say. Police officers have never been hurt by protesters. Tonight, whoever shot was not near the protesters. Not embedded with the protesters as belmar suggested. Not standing near the protesters. That just didnt happen. If mike brown was alive, none of us would be out there right now. Deray, we are looking at video of a fight that broke out during the protests. A lot of people telling us the protests were mostly peaceful. I dont know if you can see your tv screen. We are looking at this fight breaking out. What is the tension among the different groups protesting . Can you tell us anything about this incident . I think today was it has been a long time. You know there are some issues that people need to work out among themselves. We have not always had the space to do that. Tonight was interesting, it was one of the single biggest groupings of protesters in a long time. You know i think there are people who have tension today among the protest group will work it out. I think they need space to do it. Tonight is not how it should have happened. I hope it will happen better in the future. Deray, yesterday, we saw the resignation of Ferguson Police chief tom jackson. A lot of people have been calling for that for a number of months. Are you satisfied with that development . What would you like to see happen next with the Ferguson Police department . Good question. The resignation of tom jackson is necessary, but not justice. Justice would be a living breathing mike brown or definitely an arrest of darren wilson. Neither of which we have. The Ferguson Police department has proven that they are no longer fit to police. Many of us would see it to be some sort of justice for the Police Department to be disbanded and all officers fired. Officer knowles is capable of leading. None of this is justice. Justice would be accountability for lives lost or never experiencing the trauma in the first place. Deray mckesson, thanks for being with us. Deray, a witness to the shooting of the Police Officers in ferguson missouri. Deray believes it wasnt the protesters themselves in the shooting but the shots came from nearby. It sounds that is what Law Enforcement is saying. It came from somewhere near there targeting those Police Officers. We will follow this breaking news from ferguson all morning long.
