5 Things to Know This Morning

— -- Your look at the five biggest and most buzz-worthy stories of the morning.

1. President Obama Reads Mean Tweets, Discusses Ferguson on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'

President Obama read "Mean Tweets," joked about Hillary Clinton's email address and discussed the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri during a Thursday appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live."

For “Mean Tweets” – the popular segment that features celebrities reading online vitriol about themselves aloud – Obama was a good sport, finding humor in the social media criticisms.

One tweet: “Is there any way we could fly Obama to some golf course halfway around the world and just leave him there?”

“I think that’s a great idea,” Obama responded.

2. Subdued Night in Ferguson as Manhunt for Shooter Continues

Demonstrations in Ferguson, Missouri remained civil Thursday, with a prayer vigil held and protesters dispersing peacefully – a markedly different tone than a night before, when two police officers were shot while demonstrators gathered.

The officers, who have not been identified, were "lucky" they weren't killed, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said. He said police heard "three or four shots ring out" before the officers were wounded by a shooter located about 150 feet away.

"We are lucky by God's grace that we didn't lose two police officers," he said.

3. Carjacking Victim: ‘They Did the Marathon Explosions!’

In a frantic phone call to 911, a Boston man shouted that he had just been hijacked by two men and that “they did the marathon explosions!”

The call was made just past midnight April 19, four days after two bombs ripped through the finish line of the Boston Marathon, killing three people and injuring 260 others.

The Boston man, Dun Meng, recounted his harrowing experience that followed when he took the stand in the trial of alleged bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

4. Bobbi Kristina Brown: Phil McGraw Calls Nick Gordon 'Out of Control'

When Phil McGraw met with Nick Gordon to interview him about his girlfriend, Bobbi Kristina Brown, he says he didn't expect to find Gordon drunk and high on drugs.

However, McGraw says that's what happened.

McGraw told Access Hollywood Wednesday that Gordon's lawyers told him that Gordon was "so high, so out of control, abusing alcohol and apparently Xanax. They're concerned for his very life, his very well-being and so much so that the ability to sit down and do an interview with him... is just not an option."

5. Will Ferrell Plays Major League Baseball -- All the Best Moments

Will Ferrell has always been a baseball fan.

On Thursday, he got to be a player, too -- for more than one team.

"I'm actually hoping that the acting career is over after today. I think it's pretty much the feeling out here that I'm gonna land with one of these clubs," the actor told radio and TV personality Mike "Mad Dog" Russo before taking the field. "These teams need a clubhouse presence, and by presence I mean a 47-year-old flabby guy who doesn't know how to play."
