| (CNN) -- A Ferguson, Missouri, police officer was shot Saturday evening, according to St. Louis County Police spokesman Brian Schellman. It was only a matter of time, given presidential and DoJ tacit approval for protest and violence. The officer was wounded in the arm. His injuries are non-life-threatening and he is in the hospital, said Ferguson police spokesman Tim Zoll. Non-life threatening this time. He was very lucky. Police said that the officer was shot near the Ferguson community center, an area which has not been the focus of protests over the Michael Brown shooting. The police officer was patrolling alone in his car, two men saw the car and ran, said St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar. "The officer exited his car; he ran to the west chasing these individuals. As he came into very close proximity with them, one of the individuals turned with a firearm," Belmar said. "The officer was able to block it with his arm and then was shot in the arm by one of the suspects." No back-up ? The wounded officer later said that he fired "a couple of shots," Belmar said, but police have no evidence that either of the suspects was struck. Fired shots into the clouds no doubt. He said he did not think the shooting was connected with Ferguson's protests. No, simply a coincidence. We're routinely shot at here in Ferguson. "It didn't happen within the proximity of the protest area," he said. "This (the shooting scene) is an area that's fairly secluded." "I wouldn't have any reason to believe right now that it was linked in any way, shape, manner or form with the protests," he said. "No reason to believe right now".... but possibly later, after common sense kicks in, who knows. Other police sources had previously reported that there was one suspect. One police spokesman said that the officer saw him flee from the back door of Ferguson's community center. Suspected of what, CNN.
