Federal authorities will perform an independent review of Walmart shooting that resulted in the death of two people at a Beavercreek Walmart.

The case involving the shooting death of John Crawford III will be reviewed by the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice, the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Ohio, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, according to a statement issued today.

The U.S. Attorney's Office released that statement after a special grand jury's decision not to hand down indictments in the case involving two Beavercreek police officers.

Federal officials will conduct "an independent review of the facts and circumstances surrounding the August 5, 2014, fatal shooting of John Crawford III by an officer with the Beavercreek Police Department," according to a statement released today. "The Civil Rights Division, the United States Attorney's Office, and the FBI have been monitoring the state's investigation of this case. The Civil Rights Division, the United States Attorney's Office, and the FBI will conduct a thorough and independent review of the evidence and take appropriate action if the evidence indicates a prosecutable violation of federal criminal civil rights statutes. This is an on-going investigation; therefore, the Department can make no further comment on this case at this time."
