Ferguson Police Shooter on Loose as Police Raid House
BALDWIN: Michael Brown's family is now responding to this latest outbreak of violence in Ferguson, Missouri. And a manhunt is under way after these two police officers were shot overnight. This happened after protesters took to the streets, all in response to the resignation presumably of the police chief there in Ferguson. Michael Brown's parents issued a statement condemning the shooting of these two officers who have been released from the hospital and called it "senseless." Let me read you part of their statement that we have, quote, "We reject any kind of violence directed towards members of law enforcement. It cannot be tolerated. We must work together to bring peace to our communities." CNN's Victor Blackwell is live from Ferguson with more. I should also point out, we did hear from Attorney General Eric Holder Victor, just this past hour, referring to this as "heinous, cowardly acts." He unequivocally condemns the repugnant attacks and wants to throw federal resources into any investigation there in Ferguson. Tell me what you know.</s>VICTOR BLACKWELL, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Very strong word, as you said, from the attorney general, saying that this was not someone who wanted to bring harmony to this community. He called this person a "damn punk," and that "damn punk," in the attorney general's words, that's the person they're still looking for. We can tell you, of course, about that tactical operation this morning that happened at a home in Ferguson. We can tell you that the latest we just received from St. Louis County Police Department is that two men and one woman who were inside that home that officers went into are still being questioned. No arrests in relation to that tactical operation. They are not in custody but still being questioned by St. Louis County investigators. But not just state authorities, local authorities, as well, but there will be federal resources, as you said, pouring into this investigation. Shell casings from this area had been collected by investigators. We know from St. Louis County police that they believe a handgun was used based on the injuries and based on statements from witnesses. But they have not yet determined if the shell casings collected were from the gun that was used to shoot these two officers. And, Brooke, before I come back to you, I think as we have this larger conversation for people who are dipping in and out throughout the day, it's important to remind them of the conditions and these two officers themselves. We have this 32-year-old officer from Webster Groves Department, who was a seven-year veteran, who was shot just above his right cheek, below the eye. That bullet is still lodged in his -- right behind his ear. We have that also 41-year-old veteran who had been 14 years on the force with St. Louis County Police Department. That bullet going into the shoulder, out through the back. According to the police department, both have been treated and released from a local hospital, so some indication of their conditions. But prayers from the president, the Senators here, the governor. Governor Nixon released a statement as investigators continue to look for the person or persons responsible.</s>BALDWIN: Prayers all around. As Eric Holder mentioned, he has his own brother in law enforcement, and law enforcement should deserve to get to go home at night. Victor Blackwell, thanks. Next, we'll share some emotional testimony in the trial of accused Boston bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Today, the man who was carjacked by the Tsarnaev brothers, what he told them, and how he managed to escape.
