Two days after two officers were shot in Ferguson, the investigation into who the shooter is, and the motive was, remains wide open.

Belmar said that the two officers struck — one in the head, the other in the shoulder — were in good spirits at the hospital and would hopefully make a full recovery.
"I thought the officers were doing remarkably well," he said of recent visit.
But the investigation into who shot them — including their motivation and any potential affiliation with the protesters gathered outside police headquarters that night — remained an open question, despite investigators receiving "scores of tips," Belmar said.
Hampering investigators was the fact that despite the steady stream of tips, so far, there had not been any direct eyewitness accounts of the shooting.
