cnn | The shots rang out shortly after midnight, at the end of a protest against the maligned Ferguson Police Department. That
department has been under fire ever since one of its officers, Darren
Wilson, shot and killed black teenager Michael Brown last August, and
more recently since the release of a scathing Justice Department report
documenting a pattern of racial discrimination.
While the demonstrators' focus was the Ferguson department, neither of the wounded officers is from that St. Louis suburb.
