Official: FBI done with Ferguson probe
WASHINGTON – A U.S. official says the FBI has finished its investigation into the police shooting of an unarmed, black 18-year-old in Ferguson, Missouri.
The Justice Department has not yet announced whether it will file a federal civil-rights charge against former police officer Darren Wilson. But experts have said the high legal standard of proof would make such a prosecution unlikely.
Newtown council OKs razing shooter’s home
NEWTOWN, Conn. – Officials in Newtown have voted to tear down the home where Adam Lanza lived before he carried out the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The vote Wednesday evening by the Newtown Legislative Council approves a proposal by the board of selectmen to raze the 3,100-square-foot home and keep the land as open space.
Lanza killed 20 children and six educators at the school before committing suicide.
Neighbors have been pleading with town officials to tear down the house.
