Dellwood is a small town of about 5,000 people in northern St. Louis County — and the location of the shooting of a Ferguson police officer tonight, as Twitchy has reported.
Here are photos from the scene as police officers and Ferguson protesters converged.

so many streets are closed off. I don't believe the shooter is dead. May very well be a manhunt right now #Dellwood pic.twitter.com/UqW0Zw1npV

Best I can tell, a burglar in Dellwood, not #Ferguson, shot a cop, who was not seriously injured. Protests shut down, no suspect detained.
