Two bullet casings from rounds fired by an FBI agent at a leader of the armed occupation of an Oregon wildlife refuge apparently disappeared from the site where a state police officer fatally shot the protester, an Oregon newspaper reported.
In an article on its website late on Tuesday, The Oregonian cited unnamed law enforcement sources as saying video footage taken after the Jan. 26 shooting showed agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation searching the ground and huddling, before one agent bent over twice to pick up something.
The newspaper report comes a week after the U.S. Department of Justice said its inspector general's office was investigating the actions of the FBI's hostage rescue team in the deadly confrontation with Robert "LaVoy" Finicum.
Finicum, who had taken part in an occupation by armed land rights protesters at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, was shot dead by Oregon State Police after leaving his pickup truck at a roadblock along a snow-covered road in eastern Oregon.
Last week, Malheur County District Attorney Dan Norris said eight shots had been fired at Finicum, six by Oregon State Police and two by at least one FBI agent.
