NEWS 28 - A protest that turned deadly early this morning is being investigating by several Agencies including the New Shire State Police and the Federal Crimes Investigative Service. The shooting happened at 12:13 AM, before New Shire State Police fought with and arrested the shooter.

The investigators on scene have been busy since 1 AM, collecting evidence, photographing the deceased victims, and securing other media from entering the scene. Police are also questioning witnesses at the protest and are asking for any other protester who left the protest to come forward and give a statement to police.

"We are still gathering evidence, and are going to keep our findings under wraps until we have a strong case, then at that time, we will release a final statement regarding our findings," said New Shire State Police Commissioner Lee Adams. "This is going to be a very lengthy and complex process. We ask that anyone with information about what happened or video evidence come forward so we can build a strong case."

The Federal Crimes Investigative Service, say that they are working overtime as they are investigating not only this new shooting, but the ongoing investigation into Jay Laylin's shooter.

"We are swamped to our eye balls in agents out in the field in both New Shire now, and Mesa from Monday. We are working as quickly to file all the charges that are required for a successful case. We are also still collecting evidence from both shooting crime scenes," said FCIS Director Sharona Maples. "We have a lot going on and we are doing everything we can to ensure this investigation gets moving and justice is served for the innocent lives lost this morning."

As of now, no formal charges have be listed on any filings, and public records requests for the case aren't being released or granted due to the open case. We will continue to follow this story.
