A 20-year-old man who lives just north of Ferguson, Missouri, was arrested in connection with the shooting of two police officers there. Jeffrey Williams was charged with two counts of assault in the first degree and one count of firing a weapon from a vehicle, police said at a press conference Sunday afternoon. He could face up to life in prison on the charges if convicted. Officials said Williams claimed to have been in an argument with someone else, and wasn't specifically targeting the officers. St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch said investigators don't "completely buy" Williams' story. The shooting Thursday — when gunshots rang out just as a protest was winding down — left two cops wounded, one with a bullet still lodged in his head. Several protest leaders denied that Williams was one of their own, The New York Times reported.
