Peaceful protests began in Ferguson on Wednesday after Ferguson police chief Thomas Jackson resigned on the heels of a scathing Justice Department report which found widespread racism among Ferguson police. But shortly after midnight on Thursday morning, gunfire struck two police officers. Both sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were released from the hospital later on Thursday. Police were still searching for suspects Thursday night.
