WASHINGTON- The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division have launched an investigation into the shooting death of a black man by a white South Carolina police officer, the Justice Department said on Tuesday.
"The Department of Justice Civil Rights Division and the South Carolina U.S. Attorney's Office will work with the FBI in the investigation.
