Protesters in Ferguson, Missouri, held a candlelight vigil Thursday after the shooting of two police officers by an unknown gunman. Both officers have been released from the hospital. The shots were fired during a protest outside the Ferguson Police Department, but police say the shooter was about about 125 yards away. Attorney General Eric Holder condemned the shooting, which came on the heels of a Justice Department probe on rampant racial bias by Ferguson police.

Eric Holder: “What happened last night was a pure ambush. This was not someone trying to bring healing to Ferguson. This was a damn punk, a punk, who was trying to sow discord in an area that is trying to get its act together and trying to bring together a community that has been fractured for too long. This really disgusting and cowardly attack might have been intended to unravel any sense of progress that exists, but I hope that that does not in fact happen.”
