The Department of Justice will not bring charges against the officers involved in the fatal shooting of Alton Sterling last July 5th. The decision was officially announced Wednesday after it had been reported the day before by several major news outlets.

The family of Alton Sterling met with the Department of Justice to get the official notice Wednesday morning. Afterward, the two groups had press conferences at the same time, prosecutors saying that there was not enough evidence to bring federal charges against the officers and the family and its representatives saying that they are encouraged that there is enough evidence to bring a successful state prosecution.
