SWAT officers gather near the QuikTrip in Ferguson.
After meetings all over the St. Louis area called for peace, dialogue and justice, another drama-filled night took place on West Florissant, near the QuikTrip that burned on Sunday night and not far from where Reverend Al Sharpton appeared with Michael Brown's family.
According to multiple media reports, two shootings took place. First, a drive-by hit a young woman in the head a little past midnight. Later, a St. Louis County police officer shot and critically wounded a man police say pulled a gun on an officer.

Police spokesman Officer Brian Schellman tells the P-D that police were responding to a call of four or five men in ski masks shooting off shotguns in the area. When police arrived and saw men running away, an officer approached one of the men, who pulled a handgun on the officer. The officer then fired, police said.
The man was taken to the hospital, and police recovered a gun at the scene. This morning, medical supplies and a blood stain can still be seen in the spot where the man was shot.

Three men handcuffed on sidewalk on the corner of Florissant and Chambers at 12:15 a.m., just before police shot and injured a man.
A woman was also shot Wednesday night just after midnight. Police confirm to the P-D she was shot once in the head in the 1300 block of Highmont Drive, near the QuikTrip gas station that's served as a rallying point for protesters since Brown's death last weekend. The incident appeared to be a drive-by shooting, and its connection to the surrounding protests is unknown.
Update: A selfie apparently taken by the shooting victim has been circulating on social media since early this morning. Daily RFT has reached out to her to confirm. Her previous Instagram photos include several shots of Ferguson protests.
We're waiting on a return call from police and will update the story when we know more.
