FERGUSON, Mo. (Reuters) - Two police officers in Ferguson, Missouri, were shot early on Thursday in what officials called an ambush following months of acute tensions over relations between police and minority groups in the St. Louis suburb.
The officers were in serious condition at a local hospital, said St Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar, and a manhunt was under way for a suspect or suspects.
