I think it's not unusual for the FBI to be involved when it's a shooting like this into a large group of people. And Kirk was a well-known figure. So it's not that surprising that the FBI would be working with local authorities.

However, to your point, local LE was in charge and there was no reason whatsoever for the head of the FBI to be tweeting updates. Apparently that's never happened before.

Nor was it at all appropriate for the FBI to tell local authorities to keep the arrest secret until the next day so the president could "announce" it on Fox News.
