Officials Say Police Killing of Militia Member Justified; FBI Agents Scrutinized
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Oregon, local officials say police were justified in fatally shooting
armed right-wing militia spokesperson La Voy Finicum in a standoff in
January. Video shows Finicum screaming, "You back down, or you kill me
now!" But the local sheriff said FBI agents involved in the shooting are
under investigation for firing two shots at Finicum and then not
disclosing the shots to investigators.
