An NBC News crew was on the scene as hot lead flew in Ferguson. 

Producer Jennifer Roller went on the Today Show this morning and described the scene. "Loud noises, pop, pop , pop, " is how Roller described the gun shots. 

She said that police yelled to get down and they all hit the floor and soon after she saw the officer that was shot. 

“It was a frightening moment,” Roller said.

Since it was an NBC Producer telling the story and not Brian Williams, we believe her.
