CLAYTON, Mo. (AP) — The 20-year-old man charged in the shooting of two St. Louis-area officers had been at the protest outside of the Ferguson Police Department earlier that night, authorities said Saturday.
St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch said 20-year-old Jeffrey Williams is charged with two counts of first-degree assault, one count of firing a weapon from a vehicle and three counts of armed criminal action.
The officers were shot early Thursday as a crowd began to break up after a late-night demonstration that unfolded after Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson resigned in the wake of the scathing federal Justice Department report, which found widespread racial bias in the city's policing and in a municipal court system driven by profit extracted from mostly black and low-income residents.
Williams, of north St. Louis County, told police he was firing at someone in which he was in a dispute, not at the police officers, McCulloch said.
"We're not sure we completely buy that part of it," McCulloch said, adding that authorities are not ruling out that other people may be charged in connection with the shootings. He said the investigation is ongoing.

“40 mm hand gun? Wow, that’s one big a@@ weapon. It’s funny he didn’t do more damage. “
Yeah, that would be a bullet with a diameter of more than 1.6 inches! Maybe the guy was “driving” an A-10 Warthog!
Why should he have to report? He and many realize nothing serious will happen to them.
First off, if you're going to visit that sty, you need to make sure your immunizations are current, especially with respect to tetanus. Once you come back to FR, you need to undergo the kind of deep decontamination that people exposed to radioactive waste experience. You need to abrade that first layer of skin. Then you need to see if you need a shot of penicillin for safety's sake.
Be very, very careful. I haven't risked a trip to the DUmp in years.
With 2 counts of attempted murder of a cop (one of the worse felonies one can commit) he will get 20 years.
Hold him for probation violation. Possession of firearm. Wonder what that original crime was. He’ll do some time on that Gang related? If so I’ll bet another gang turned on him.
As someone said, why not attempted murder?
MSM will shut it up and this animal will get off.
Off topic - but I just got this per email.
If true, this is outrageous:
PLEASE WHERE DO I APPLY FOR WELFARE?
***** HAWAII LOOKS PRETTY GOOD TO ME........ *****
Can’t you hear students telling their teachers they want to be welfare
recipients when they grow up?
THE WORK ETHIC WE INHERITED GROWING UP HAS FALLEN PREY TO THE ‘WELFARE’
SYSTEM’
The Cato Institute released an updated 2014 study (original study in 1955)
showing that welfare benefits pay more than a minimum wage job in 33
states and the District of Columbia.
Even worse, welfare pays more than $15 per hour in 13 states.
According to the study, welfare benefits have increased faster than
minimum wage.
It’s now more profitable to sit at home and watch TV than it is to earn
an honest day’s pay.
Hawaii is the biggest offender, where welfare recipients earn $29.13 per
hour,
or a $60,590 yearly salary, all for doing nothing.
Here is the list of the states where the pre-tax equivalent “salary”
that welfare recipients receive is higher
than having a job:
1. Hawaii : $60,590
2. District of Columbia : $50,820
3. Massachusetts : $50,540
4. Connecticut : $44,370
5. New York : $43,700
6. New Jersey : $43,450
7. Rhode Island : $43,330
8. Vermont : $42,350
9. New Hampshire : $39,750
10. Maryland : $38,160
11. California : $37,160
12. Oregon : $34,300
13. Wyoming : $32,620
14. Nevada : $29,820
15. Minnesota : $29,350
16. Delaware : $29,220
17. Washington : $28,840
18. North Dakota : $28,830
19. Pennsylvania : $28,670
20. New Mexico : $27,900
21. Montana : $26,930
22. South Dakota : $26,610
23. Kansas: $26,490
24. Michigan : $26,430
25. Alaska : $26,400
26. Ohio : $26,200
27. North Carolina : $25,760
28. West Virginia : $24,900
29. Alabama : $23,310
30. Indiana : $22,900
31. Missouri : $22,800
32. Oklahoma : $22,480
33. Louisiana : $22,250
34. South Carolina :$21,910
As a point of reference the average Middle Class annual income today is
$50,000, down from $54,000 at the beginning of the Great Recession.
Hawaii, DC, and Massachusetts pay more in welfare than the average working
folks earn there.
Is it any wonder that they stay home rather than look for a job.
Time for a drastic change.
America is virtually bankrupt.
Note that California is $18.50 an hour.
Are we Nuts or what? How do we un-do this type of stupidity … This is
crazy!
Salary of retired United States Presidents $180,000 FOR LIFE
Salary of House/Senate....$174,000 FOR LIFE
This is beyond stupid !!!!!!!
Salary of Speaker of the House ....$223,500 FOR LIFE!
This is really stupid.
Salary of Majority/Minority Leader $193,400 FOR LIFE!
Ditto last line.
Average Salary of a teacher ... $40,065
Average Salary of Soldier DEPLOYED IN AFGHANISTAN .. $38,000
Think about this !!!!!
Nancy Pelosi will retire as a Congress Person at $174,000 Dollars a year
for LIFE.
She has retired as SPEAKER at $223,500 a year.
PLUS she will receive an additional $193,400 a year as Minority Leader,
the fact that she has become rich while in office notwithstanding.
That’s $803,700 Dollars a year for LIFE including FREE medical which is
not available to us .... the taxpayers
She is just one of the hundreds of Senators and Congress that float in and
out every year!
I think we found where the cuts should be made!
If you agree ...... pass it on, I just did.
Wake UP America ! Unless you really don’t care that your country is
bankrupt at the likes of these people !

But where else could I learn important things like this shown below? I was always under the impression Obama did NOT think America was exceptional! See what I mean about an “alternate reality”
“I’m sorry but I don’t buy the “American exceptionalism” President Obama heralds. If I could move to Europe or Scandinavia to live out my years, I would!”
Any pictures of him in diapers getting licked by an adorable puppy..
************
Stay tuned.
The photo of him in his cap and gown will apprear shortly.
I keep hearing about DU here. What is is? A dem site opposite of FR?
By the way; Williams is in jail with a $300,000 cash-only bail. He's not going anywhere soon. He also admitted to the shooting so he's definitely getting convicted.
I want one.
Don’t go to Democratic Underground, I implore you. Not unless you possess a full-body condom.
They don’t report to their probation officer...and nothing happens to them. What’s to lose?
I thought it might be a white Occupy type who did the shooting, because most gang-bangers aren’t very good shots and just depend on blasting out a lot of bullets in every direction. But he was clearly aiming and if he had known more about shooting and had had a more powerful weapon, he would have killed both of those cops.
What a good boy. He was just turnin’ his life around.
Google democraticunderground. For a conservative it’s actually a fascinating look into the other side. You will laugh, you will shake your head in disbelief and sometimes you will get so mad you have to get out of there before you find yourself yelling at your computer. It’s truly left of left and I don’t care what color you are, if you don’t agree with Obama, you are racist! So be prepared.
Hi, hope you are doing well...this was pretty good
“Not unless you possess a full-body condom.”
I used one, and still had to bleach and scrub my hard drive.

As soon as his probation is withdrawn he’ll start doing time for the original crime. What was it and what was the original sentence before probation?
Rearguard less it will give LEO plenty of time to work on this case.
Am wondering if the first crime involved a bullet from same gun. Easy match. This time they have the gun.
He’s already passed GO (probation). This time he GOES STRAIGHT TO JAIL!
So the guy brings a gun to a large political protest rally and shoots a few rounds. So what? What difference does it make?????/s
