(ABC NEWS) A Florida state prosecutor and the Justice Department both announced today that they will not bring charges against an FBI agent involved in the controversial shooting of a man tied to one of the alleged Boston Marathon bombers.
Ibragim Todashev was killed in Orlando last May during an interview with an FBI and other law enforcement officials, who were looking into a connection between Todashev, alleged Boston bomber Tamerlane Tsarnaev and an unsolved triple murder in Massachusetts two years earlier.
According to the findings Florida State Attorney Jeffrey Ashton disclosed today, the actions of the FBI “were justified in self-defense and in defense of another.”
