i went to college in st. louisnty and i was shocked at just the huge number of municipalities that are there. there are 89 municipalities in st. louis county. you compare that with jefferson parish which is right next to new orleans, for example, and jefferson parish is much bigger and only has six municipalities and if you want -- ? why does the number of municipalities matter to you? >> well think did the duplication of services 89 different police forces 89 different town clerks 89 different mayors, et cetera, et cetera. you know i would imagine that the people in st. louis county could be saving a whole lot of money by compiling and collaborating with one another, but if you have a city like ferguson that is boasting oh we reached $2 million in tickets last year or we're having to ticket people just to keep more money into the coffers, that's suggesting that the city is existing just for its own sake and not for the sake of the people that are supposed to deserve it -- >> you bring up the money and, malik, some

in the shoulder. the other was from near bys we ter grove. also from st. louis. he was shot in the famous both officers were conscious when they were transported to the hospital but the chief did not have any suspect information and did not comment on how the officers are doing right now. he does say they have been fortunate that more incidents like this have not happened in the last seven months. >> we have seen in law enforcement that this is a very, very vhat we have experienced up there. >> reporter: it's been a very eventful day in the st. louis area. we did get word the ferguson police chief tom jackson would be resigning yesterday afternoon. that was made official right around 5:30. and that is when the protests started. protesters went to city hall and then we understand they went to ferguson police department. they were peaceful protests again, until right around midnight. and right now we're being told there is a manhunt for the suspect or suspects who did this. anne-marie? >> kmov's laura hettiger in st. louis. thanks a lot, laura. >>> well this morning

he says he is ready to go he sounds really excited to be in philadelphia and more people than in st. louise room. >> >>> this pay look like an ordinary scene a man carrying a plastic bag around an arizona hospital but it turns out what was inside was far from normal that father was trying to sneak that infant out of the ward. they knew they would try to take the infant from them because they found drugs in her system at birth. police arrested him as soon as they discovered the baby was missing. >>> the big talkers, a big about face after a big backlash over the cleaning instructions of the soccer jerseys saying give this to your woman to wash because it's her job. people went wild on social media especially women calling it sexist. they have issued an apology, saying it was actually an insult to men because they don't know how to do laundry, it said instead of washing it the wrong way give it to your lady because they are more capable. we want to tell men to learn from women on how to clean clothes, the apology is sparking a whole new debate on twitter. >>> screamings swearing and spitting

st. louis county was shot in the shoulder a 32-year-old officer was shot in the face. st. louis county police chief said the shots came from behind the protestors across the street. >> i would have to make an assumption right now that based on the fact that these officers were standing together, and there were several officers standing right there together when this happened, that, you know, these were shots that were parallel to the ground, not up in the air. they weren't skip shots and i would have to make an assumption that these shots were directed exactly at my police officers. >> constant protest in ferguson since last summer's shooting of unarmed black teen michael brown by white exferguson officer darren wilson had the chief concerned that an outbreak of violence was destined to happen. >> it's very difficult to sustain this without injury to the public, our community and without injuries to our police officers, and i think we need to reevaluate that. >> as to those who found themselves caught amid the gunfire, it's something they'll never forget. >> bullets were go

one thing is for certain according to authorities in st. louisthese two officers were targeted by the gunman. this is no accidental shooting. we've been showing you this new video we just got in from our nbc affiliate there in the st. louis area. you can see medics putting one of those officers into an ambulance. neither of the officers shot are ferguson police officers. a 32-year-old from nearby webster grove police department was shot in the face. a 41-year-old from st. louis county was shot in the shoulder both being treated at a local hospital there. they have serious injuries, but authorities there are saying that they were conscious after the shooting. now, this shooting happened around midnight central time. after dozens of protesters had gathered outside the ferguson police department. it started as a peaceful protest. in fact it was starting to break up when those shots were fired. >> it's up the street. a cop got shot. >> witnesses say three shots -- witnesses say three shots were fired. this video was posted to twitter just moments aft

in on this breaking story. >> right. i just learned three shots were fired and the st. louis county police chief just released more information. he says a 32-year-old officer was shot in the face. a 41-year-old officer from st. louis county was shot in the shoulder. the chief says both are conscious but he also says their injuries are, quote, very serious. a huge police presence including officers in riot gear surrounded the department after the shooting which happened around midnight. a crowd of about 150 protesters had begun to dwindle when the shots rang out. >> it's up the street. a cop got shot. >> this video taken just after the shooing was posted on twitter. you see people drop to the ground as soon as they heard the gunshots. protesters had gathered at the police department following the resignation of ferguson's police chief. it happened yesterday. chief thomas jackson resigned the sixth employee to resign or be fired after the justice department that found racial bias in the police department. some of missouri's top leaders have been calling for him to step down ove

take care. >> the breaking news at this hour, it is 2:00 local time in st. louisguson missouri, here in new york it's almost 3:00. and if you're just joining us, an arrest has been made. with a suspect in the shooting of two police officers on thursday in ferguson missouri. and the name of the suspect so far, jeffrey williams 20 years old, an individual from the area of st. louis, missouri. they did not give us any more information about that. prosecuting attorney, robert mccullough spending just about 15, 16 minutes laying out some of the details. 40 caliber gun, assault in the first degree there are two counts that could result in life in prison. on the ground there watching this entire case force throughout the last several days nbc correspondent. there's lots of things to talk about here. first of all, something that may have happened that could put a stop in the cascading set of events that we've seen within the last five or six days that has seen tension grow day after day. what do you make of what was released just this afternoon there in st. louis, missour

one officer was struck in the shoulder, the other in the fats. the st. louis county police chief described the injuries and said the outcome could have been tragic. >> fortunately, with both officers we don't have any remarkable long-term injuries. in other words, we didn't -- there wasn't a -- it wasn't in somebody's brain or heart or anything like this. but you need to know these two officers took a very hard hit. any time you're not in the face and have a bullet lodged in your head have a through and through wound where the bullet enters your shoulder and comes out the middle of your right back those are hard hits. we're lucky by god's grace we don't lose two officers last night. >> police say the shooting of the two officers was an ambush and that the shots were direct the at the police. the protests were winding down when shots rang out. jake tap ser there joining us. give us the latest on what's going on. we know this search apparently still continued for the shooter or more shooters. >> reporter: that's right. st. louis county police were searching a ho

>> well the reaction here in ferguson and the greater st. louisone of a community that is disheartened by the things particularly the salacious details that we see of the actions of officials in ferguson that are documented in the report but quite frankly, also this information is not inconsistent with the testimony we've heard from citizens through the ferguson commission from our engagement with people on the streets, our own experiences of policing in our community, so this is not quite frankly a surprise. the question is will we take the recommendation all the way through to the end and begin to engage the report with the recommendations on community policing will we engage robustly in an activity to make sure the community is engaged and has oversight of policing activity and that there's accountability to make sure the courts are not used as an atm for a system of municipal fragmentation and disproportionately impacting african americans. >> van, some of these e-mails that were released in this department of justice report are simply shockin

violence in and of itself doesn't need to exist. we think about st. louispeople have been killed by the police since august an average of one a month. that's wild right? and that's the context in which we protest that violence shouldn't exist, either right? there's like no reason for that to happen and no we don't advocate violence towards police officers. we would have been home tonight, we would not have been in the street if mike brown had been alive. if vondera had been alive, if antonio had been alive. we are protesting for a reason. we wouldn't be there if they had not been violently killed by the police. >> everybody should be in agreement that violence towards police officers is nowhere near an answer to the situation. duray mckesson, thank you very much for your perspective. we'll talk to you again. >> sara you've been listening to all that and you've been in ferguson since michael brown was shot. have the protests died down and last night erupted again? what has happened in the past week? >> there have been protests that have gone on they have not

in towns like ferguson st. louis, where they don't have the amount of staff that you would have in new york that may be necessary. >> all right, i'm going to leave it there. maria chappelle nadal, thanks to all of you. i appreciate it. i'll be back with much more in the "newsroom." i've just arrived in atlanta and i can't wait to start telling people how switching to geico could save them hundreds of dollars on car insurance. but first, my luggage. ahh, there it is. uh, excuse me sir? i think you've got the wrong bag. >>sorry, they all look alike, you know? no worries. well, car's here, i can't save people money chatting at the baggage claim all day. geico®. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. oh yea, that's coming down let's get some rocks, man. health can change in a minute. so cvs health is changing healthcare. making it more accessible and affordable with walk-in medical care, no appointments needed and most insurance accepted. minuteclinic. another innovation from cvs health.

in ferguson. starsky wilson chairs the commission, and is pastor of st. john's church in st. louis, and kevin ahlbrand is a police detective in st. louis and president of the missouri fraternal order of police. tonight, he's in san diego. reverend wilson, that was just scraping the surface of the findings in that department of justice report. what surprised you the most about what you read? >> quite frankly, while the report was disheartening, the overall findings were not surprising. we knew, based on the testimony we have heard from people not only in the streets but through our commission's work over the first 100 days that people experience racialized policing, that they believed in their truth that this was driven by profit. we now see the evidence of that. the things that surprise meade quite frankly, were the kind of salacious narrative of the fact that we have an e-mail from from the finance director of the city directly to the chief of police suggesting that revenues, raised through direct policing practices. these are the kinds of things that should never be in public-- i

they in some way may be traitors and may not be allowing them to do their job properly. >> for us in st. louis thanks. >>> a report on the cost the injustice continues in a moment with a california police chief who caught a lot of people off guard with that bold move. >> what other police chiefs are actually standing side by side with black and brown community members and holding a sign that really is saying like i believe black lives matter. >> down on the ground. >> this is another significant development... >> we have an exclusive story tonight, and we go live... >>> drop the gun do it. >> now just shoot me. >> the big bigger challenge thousand make decisions under stressful circumstances. >>> a police chief like any boss, sets a tone and is you want matily accountable for the officers he or she leads. the police chief of richmond, california has tried to set a very different tone, when it comes to the treatment of african americans than the images sparked by controversy around the current are you. when michael brown was shot by a white police officer in ferguson, missouri last year think f

mother and father, zein and maria isa, were immigrants from palestine and ran a grocery store in downtown st. louis. >> like most immigrants, the palestinians went into the food business. that's a tradition in america. food service is one of the easiest types of businesses to operate. what was especially appealing to the isas and their relatives it was another way to rip off america. they could avoid paying taxes. they would play little games with food stamp fraud, grocery coupons. i mean, zein even said he loved america because there were so many ways to rip it off. >> on november 6, 1989, tina was working the night shift at a fast-food restaurant. according to the isas, tina arrived home at midnight and there was an argument. tina said she wanted to live on her own and demanded her parents give her $5,000 to support herself. when they refused, they say tina pulled a knife from her backpack and threatened them. in the tussle, zein said he turned the knife on his daughter in self-defense. >> the father was saying it was self-defense. the wife was saying, yes, it was self-defense. i was standing the

. >> at this hour the manhunt is ongoing for the shooting officers of two police officers in st. louisissouri. the police chief scheduled a press conference for 5:00 p.m. eastern today. though three people were brought in for questioning they've all since been released and no arrests have been made but the violence has not deterred the largely peaceful protests that first spring up in the aftermath of the michael brown killing last august. dozens gathered for an interfaith candlelight vigil for all who mourn. the vigil gave way to quiet demonstrations later in the night and activists from ferguson and across the country are gathering in st. louis for a truth telling conference to discuss police community relations and how to empower local communities. in an interview with jimmy kimmel last night, president obama lent his support to peaceful protests, calling police practices in ferguson oppressive and objectionable and worthy of protest. but not everyone has been convinced. here is former new york city mayor rudy giuliani on fox news yesterday. >> hands up total lie. total absolute lie

in the cross hairs of 41 year-old st. louis county police officer strung in the shoulder and three two-year old officer from missouri, shot in the face. both were taken to the hospital and were conscious at that time. there were no details given about their conditions, but described only as serious. you can hear gunfire scattered the crowd at this amateur video up loaded to you stream. >> gunfire and now cops have guns drawn. >> reporter: witnesses a say demonstration outside the ferguson police department was winding down when it happen. >> we were actually all about to leave and as we were about to pack our camera up we hear what we thought were fire works. >> then i heard at least four to five shots rang out. >> reporter: gunfire struck two police officers, one in the shoulder, other in the face. paramedics headed one victim on to an ambulance to be taken to the hospital. the the demonstrations had started as a celebration police chief thomas jackson would resign but the strained relationship between the community and police

>> he spent time in chicago. >> he's doing detroit chicago st. louis texas nebraska and is going to williamsburg after starting in ontario. so in some ways i don't mean to be disrespectful but there's something very worldly about all of us. he is seeing america at this crucial moment. is that no part of the journey that religious person will take? >> with us taking it some sort of global terms no i don't think so. but it wasn't in either. one of the things i realize from speaking to one of his classmates from seminary, what set him apart was his travels intellectually and physically were very different than them people emerging from small town chairman midwestern southern texas, let's say life and going straight into seminary. you do your time there and you go off to a congregation and off you go. he set himself apart even then because in the 1950s he's reading george santa ana. is already physically and intellectually elsewhere. i would say to your question basically, with a cosmopolitan such as he had been norm for any given seminary in? inmost licit

st. louis police have in custody. the man they arrested overnight and is now being held in st. is county jail. we want to know how they found this individual and what led to this arrest. they said they had some leads, but they didn't have anyone in the custody during the day, is so what we're hoping to find out is how they were able to track this individual down fred. >> we are expecting this to be conducted by ferguson county police? or would police be involved in this? >> reporter: this is st. louis county police who is conducting this and they are who have this individual in ferguson. part of the issue we have seen late wednesday night, early thursday morning, when that shooting happened when those two police officers were shot to the county police department did take over the investigation and we do know at the same time that they have been working with missouri state troopers as well to then keep the area secure so there has been help coming in from the surrounding communities and ferguson as a whole. and it's worth noting that the two police officers that were shot were no

st. louis county. he's a 14-year veteran of the department. another who was shot in the face is from a suburb of st. louis. he's 32 years old. we are told they are in stable but serious condition. bill: thank you have much, garrett. martha: this flare-up of violence we saw overnight comes after release of the justice department report and the resignation of the ferguson police chief. it's important to remember what that report showed. the report cleared officer darren wilson of any criminal act or wrong doing in the shooting of michael brown. it also concluded that the hands up don't shoot moment which was echoed across the country becoming a rallying cry for protesters actually never happened in the encounter between wilson and brown. it called the claims from the witnesses not credible based on the forensic evidence which showed the position of the bodies and the people at the time. at the same time it did find evidence of racism in the ferguson police department and that led attorney general eric hold early say he's willing to do whatever it takes to start over. >> we are prepared to use all power

it was a very warm evening here in st. louis, and there was a very social atmosphere going on behind the protesters. there's a core group of people protesting, and then there was the group of people who were out there to observe, to watch, to just have a social meeting. there was bbqing. there were people having drinks. >> the scene you're describing does not sound like a violent scene. there was no fighting that you saw or that you heard or heard of leading up to this? >> reporter: there were among the socializers, not among the protesters. we noticed a group of people that you know may have been involved in a scuffle over at the end down at the other end of the block, not part of the protesters so we saw little episodes of them earlier in the evening, but they didn't involve -- it didn't get violent that any of us could see and it didn't appear to be with any of the protesters. >> jennifer thank you. if you can stand by as you gather more information. i want to bring in someone on the scene as well when the officers were shot.

st. louis rams. nick foles went to the rams in exchange. >> training staff in st. louis, we decided to take this one a little slower per dr. andrew's recommendations. i believe the team doctor here spoke with dr. andrews today. like i said, i'm sure that the training staff here will talk to him, myself you know we'll come up with a plan. i would say it's been a little slower this time around. >> there was a guy yesterday on a local tv show who was a knee expert who said the closeness of the two injuries is very alarming. do you say that's old news and things have changed? how do you respond to that, i guess? >> that would be the first time i've ever heard that so that's really not alarming to me. i think you've seen players come back from acls before you've seen guys come from two, even three acls. i'm not really worried about that. i'm just working really hard every day to get back to healthy. >> the torn acl in the same spot do you have any doubt you'll be able to come back from this and be the same sam bradford that was the number one overall pick five years ago?

in nearby st. george for example, voters agreed they elected a mayor in 2011 who then went about dismantling the city and merging it with the st. louis county administration. the mayor said st. george was nothing but a quote speed trap it was illegal immoral and policing for profit, end quote. the state representative courtney curtis says the police department should be disbanded and the nearby town of normandy should take over policing. representative ferguson is not working for you and other people but you're suggest dissolving the police department and having the police in normandy missouri which no one has heard of which to the best of my knowledge has a population of a quarter of ferguson's and yet smaller police force handle ferguson's law enforcement. that is your best suggestion representative? i shudder to think of what ideas you passed on. >> it's definitely not my best suggestion just one suggestion, given they have just taken over cool valley which borders ferguson as well. the question we have to ask will the services be delivered in the same manner they are and will we ultimately give a better quality to the residents.

>> there is a violent element in the police force here in st. louist has actually killed seven people since august. >> and that's your response. i mean, you were at that -- at the protest last night you saw those police officers who were shot down in the line of duty. can you expand on that? >> you know, this has been a movement founded on the idea that violence is not the answer, right? we have been explicitly protest is against violence, i don't condone the killing of police officers, i don't condone the killing of unarmed black people. i don't condone couple the killing of people. that's real. jeff is in denying about the findingses d.o.j. that policing is racist and type there problematic for black people. the protests aren't about hurting police officers, it is about accountability and justice. >> you are holding a vigil tonight, but it's not for the police officers. why? >> you know mike thoughts and prayers go to all of the victims of violence. right? and tonight we stand with the family that his we fight for. we stand with the people whose liv

>> we know they've spent the entire day going to different homes in ferguson around the st. louis area trying to learn information about possible suspects and two names of people they believe were here last night participated in the protest and they believe one of those is the shooter. >> so they believe that at least one of them was actually part of the protest? >> right. they believe they were here part of the protest and after the shots rang out, they ran away and now they're looking for them. they have some good leads on them. they know who they are but can't find them. >> sit known whatis it known what weapon was used? >> no these bullets may have come from pistols or something that was modified to be like a rifle sort of to give it that extra power, that extra kick. >> it was a distance from where the officers were shot. >> quite a distance. that's the puzzling thing. how could a gun from that far be fired from so far be so active. >> and so they have two names that they're looking for. >> yes. at least two names and looking for others to see, how did they get away? who help
