Two FBI Agents Shot in St. Louis County

Two FBI agents were shot in St. Louis County last night while they were helping local police arrest a murder suspect. Major Washington was being arrested by University City police for allegedly shooting his mother dead and then shooting the officer who responded to a 911 call.

When the two FBI agents went to the house last night, according to Fox2Now, they confronted Washington and ended up being shot. One was shot in the shoulder, the other in the leg.

This incident occurred very close to Ferguson, but an FBI spokeswoman said that this incident is unrelated.
