Two officers, one a 41-year-old St. Louis County police officer the other a 32-year-old officer from Webster Groves were shot on March 12, the Webster Groves officer left with a bullet lodged by his ear.
A weapon was recovered when Williams, 20, was arrested, and officials have tied that weapon to shell casings obtained at the scene.
St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch said during a press conference Sunday that Williams had been a demonstrator at the protests held but may not have been firing at the police:
The evidence we have supports the charge that he may have been firing at someone else and struck the police.(continued)

Good call! But 115gr. and 124gr. 9mm. is not a 165gr. or 180 gr. .40 cal. NOT AS FLAT SHOOTING! So now we have 24 + inch drop at over 100 meters. Do! Do! Do! Do! I smell a low grassy Knoll!

Since the original, "It was a White agitator trying to make Blacks look bad" fantasy won't fly anymore, they have to change the story line to make the "White, racist oppressors of this budding paragon of society" keep the proper placemtn of god guys/bad guys...
So, you think that a gov't agent (of the Obamunist type) did the shooting? Did the cops volunteer to "take one for the team" or were they random targets? Or am I misreading your < /sarc >?
I’m a firearms instructor and my agency carries .40 caliber Glocks. We also have Ruger mini 14’s. Making the shot with the Ruger @ 200 yds with open sights? Possible, but you would have to be both experienced and damn good. Hitting with the glock at that range? As you said, NFW. This guy very much may not be the shooter.

Isn’t that the man Gov. Huckabee ate?
When some thug shoots two people, and they both happen to be cops, I have trouble believing it was an accident. Maybe I’m just showing my White Privilege.
