Two police officers have been shot during a protest outside a police station in the US city of Ferguson, Missouri, witnesses said.
The shooting occurred early on Thursday morning after several dozen protesters had gathered in front of the Ferguson police department, just hours after the city’s police chief, Thomas Jackson, announced his resignation.
A few dozen demonstrators fled following the sound of gunfire around midnight with some screaming, “They hit a cop,” according to a Reuters photographer at the scene.
Police could not be reached immediately for comment.
