BISMARCK (KFGO-AM) -- A state senator from Grand Forks says the lack of information from authorities following a weekend shooting involving a police officer is concerning.
The shooting happened early Saturday but police released few details until Monday. Grand Forks and University of North Dakota police referred media to the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation, which referred reporters back to local police.
UND police released some details Monday, saying 41-year-old David Elliott was shot after a pursuit that covered multiple counties as well as the city of Grand Forks.
State Democratic Sen. Mac Schneider says that the lack of information following the shooting was "very confusing and very concerning.'' He wants the Legislative Council to research how much information agencies are obligated to release in the initial stages of an investigation.
