2 FBI Agents Shot at Barricaded Home Near Ferguson

Two FBI agents were shot at a barricaded home not far from the protest-wracked St. Louis suburb of Ferguson early Wednesday. An FBI official told NBC News that it may have been an attempt at "suicide by cop." One agent was struck in the shoulder and the other in the leg while helping University City police prepare to make an arrest. They were taken to a hospital for surgery and were expected to recover. The shooting was "not directly related to the Ferguson protests," said an FBI spokeswoman. An FBI official in Washington said the suspect was accused of firing at police Tuesday night.
