At least two more people have been shot as more violence has erupted in Ferguson, Missouri, where there have been several days of rioting in response to a police shooting of a black teenager.
Officials overnight said a police officer shot a man who pointed a handgun at him, and a woman apparently was shot in a drive-by shooting.
At KTVI-TV in St. Louis, some of the details were emerging.
The station reported it was about 1 a.m. when four men, masked and carrying shotguns, approached a crowd. The report said when police arrived they heard shots fired and saw people running. When one officer chased a suspect, the gunman pointed a handgun at the officer and the officer fired.
The report said the suspect was hospitalized in critical condition.
St. Louis Today reported the latest armed confrontation was not far from the scene of protests of the earlier shooting.
A video posted on YouTube by a protester also had an officer explaining a woman was shot, too, in what reportedly was a drive-by shooting.

No need to “rise up”. . .that’s stupid. These “servants of the people/community” go home to your neighborhoods at the end of every day. They live in your communities. They are your friends, neighbors, sons/daughters. Let them know of the error of their way. Their job is not worth violating their oath to the Constitution and to the community they serve.
