FBI Will Investigate Missouri Police Killing of Unarmed Black Teen Michael Brown
Police say the FBI is taking over the investigation of a suburban St. Louis police officer who fatally shot an unarmed teenager.
Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson tells The Associated Press that he was informed Monday that the FBI was going to take over the investigation into the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown. Jackson says he welcomes the move.
Police say the teen was shot multiple times Saturday in a scuffle with an officer.

Scumbags investigating scumbags. Great!
To make things easier for me, I would appreciate it if someone would list the number of crime-ish events that are not federal concerns.
Did it have any effect, any at all no matter how small or minuscule or exaggerated, upon interstate commerce?
Is anyone going to investigate all the looting that took place during the temper tantrums "protests"?
