[Fox] The gunman who shot two Missouri police officers early Thursday at a protest outside the Ferguson police headquarters remains at large, and a top law enforcement official said it was only "by God's grace" that the two cops -- one of whom was hit in the face -- are expected to survive.
"Lucky," St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said at a news conference hours after the early morning shootings. "By God's grace we didn't lose two officers last night."
And also by 'God's Grace' that line of officers didn't hit the prone and immediately begin returning fire.
The police officers, one a member of Belmar's force and the other from another county police department, were both released from the hospital late Thursday morning. The officer who was shot in the face will have to return at a later date for a further evaluation.
