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.

“...he was firing at someone in which he was in a dispute..”
say, what?
Here are some facebook and tweets from the sweet young fellow:
At that range and with the cops in shoulder to shoulder riot formation, it was just like Civil War shooting: get the right elevation and simply aim at the line. He was sure to hit someone.
Well, the people’s choice said that it is easier to buy a gun than buy a book. He had to have something to spend his welfare money on. Besides, he probably can’t read anyway.
Nope, I am out there with him. He hasn’t been to jail yet, so why start now?
You are a braver man than I.
The news report I heard said someone dropped a dime on him. I suppose that it is a quarter now. The cops were probably putting too much heat on their other businesses [drug sales, prostitution, fencing, ect.
He momma gonna say “my boy he be a good boy”
He daddy not gonna say nuffin cuz nobody know who he daddy be.
0 gonna say to holder “if I had a son...”
Probably not as many as this progressive Democrat. This fellow “fathered” thirty children with eleven different “women.” And why? Because he can! Thanks liberals.
Thanks.
Family member was beaten up badly. It involved a gun that misfired. I thought it should be attempted murder. DA said 1st degree assault carried as heavy a penalty. In Missouri.
What is it with these thugs and spelling. Is proper grammar and spelling a “white thing?” Or is it “wht thang?” The rappers also spell the same way. It really is a bit tiresome, no? And why do so many white kids buy this crap? It defies reason.
Good news. A suspect apprehended. Thanks for posting.
Where is his graduation picture?
Randomly fires a .40 pistol and hits two policemen standing side by side 125 yards away?
Anyone want to buy a piece of a real nice vintage bridge in Brooklyn?
I think they had better start looking for a rifle.
Is it really that much more credible to think he actually aimed at targets 125 yards away and hit them both.
Wait, there was nothing I read that said he was a practiced expert.
maybe someone who actually knew how to handle a rifle was involved.
