EL PASO, Texas -- Police said Wednesday around 3 a.m. two FBI agents were serving an arrest warrant to a barricaded house in St. Louis County.
The house is located a few miles from Ferguson where protests surrounding the shooting death of a teen by a police officer.
One agent was struck in his shoulder and the other one was struck in the leg. Police said the shooting was not directly related to the Ferguson’s protests.
However FBI officials say it is unclear if the shooting is linked to the shooting of a University City police officer on Monday.
Both of the agents had non-lifethreatening injuries.
El Paso, TX?
" (Reuters) - Two FBI agents were shot and wounded at a house in north St. Louis County early on Wednesday, though the incident was "not directly related" to racially charged unrest in and around nearby Ferguson, an agency spokeswoman said.
One agent was shot in the shoulder and the other was shot in the leg while assisting local police in executing an arrest warrant, FBI spokeswoman Rebecca Wu said in a brief statement. Their injuries were not life-threatening.
"The incident is not directly related to the Ferguson protests," Wu said, but did not elaborate further.
Some 2,000 National Guard troops helped ward off a second night of rampant arson and looting in suburban St. Louis after a grand jury declined to indict a white policeman in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager, and sympathy protests spread to several U.S. cities.

Undercover agents or Holder’s special operatives fomenting riots so the Feds can invoke Martial Law.

a barricaded house?
I read a thread a few minutes ago about a 20 years old black man shot and left in a car near the gentle giant’s apartment complex. There was some discussion about him being one of the grand jury witnesses - I went to read it again and the thread is now gone. There is a mention of it on Drudge. Weird. It was apparently a friend of this Dorian accomplice.
Maybe someone had the temerity to lock their door.
Here’s an update from a St. Louis station.

Lots of activity lately. Tips must be outstanding.
The agent had a Johnson and Johnson?
I too read about the suggestion this may have been a grand jury witness at...Conservative Treehouse blog (?)...late last night.
Sounds plausible to me.
yes - that was the site. I just wondered why the thread was removed from FR.
They were going after a local murder suspect. There are joint fugitive task forces in major cities that include FBI and USMS.
