((In St. Petersburg, Florida, more violence in a neighborhood rocked by riots last month. Despite appeals for calm, a police officer was shot in the leg. It happened just after a grand jury refused to indict a white police officer in the slaying of a black motorist.
Police used tear gas to storm the home of a local black militant group. Earlier in the day the group had called for the executions of police officers in last month's shooting. The disturbance by a small group of people came hours after the grand jury ruled Officer Jim Knight was justified in last month's shooting. They said the officer feared for his life when he shot and killed the motorist holed up in his car October 24th.
BURNIE MCCABE, PINELLAS COUNTY STATE ATTORNEY:

Despite the jury's ruling, officials immediately suspended officer Knight for 60 days. Dozens of police squad cars responded to the scene of this latest violence. Officers immediately blocked off streets. Moments later gunshots rang out. The latest incident comes weeks after a disturbance that left several police and fire officials injured, dozens of buildings burning and millions of dollars in damage.
