FLINT - Flint City Council members want the FBI to intervene in the investigation of fatal police shooting Friday.
City Councilwoman Carolyn Sims, a retired Flint police officer, lashed out at what she called "rookie" police officers' wrongful use of deadly force. She called it a "senseless murder."
Police shot Jo Ann Burgett, 46, several times after being called to Shady Acres mobile home park. Burgett was armed with a knife that police have said she refused to drop as she approached them.
"We don't want that shooting to be covered up," Sims said. "There is more to the story. I hope the truth comes out."
