My impressions?

Feds still investigating agent's fatal shooting of Ibragim Todashev during questioning in Florida.(click here) 

The family is understandably upset. They are from the Caucases and are sensitive to issues such as this. The Caucases have a long history of violence and any inkling of same will automatically become a huge issue and rightfully so.

I would not expect the FBI to release information of an ongoing investigation. SOP. The investigation into Mr. Todashev's death encompasses a larger investigation and probably includes at least one lawsuit, so the public won't be hearing much for awhile.

What is troubling is the inconsistencies dribbling out of the FBI. The inconsistencies relay a picture of near torture. Seven bullets, if I have that right, it was seven bullets. That is one shooter.  The shooter unloaded the chamber. There was one gunman that killed him. Understanding why that shooter acted is to understand his death.

Why would one shooter have reason? 'Suspicion of explosive device being worn.' Another word is suicide bomber. That is the way I see it right now.

I am sure the new director of the FBI has more than enough to keep him busy in one day, but, he should give this some attention with a statement about the young man's death. It would help the family and the region of the world most troubled by the secrecy.
