BCI is overseeing the investigation into the possibility of any criminal action in the case. The bureau became involved at the request of the Moraine Police Division, which is conducting an internal investigation into the shooting outside an apartment complex on Pinnacle Road.
Howard and Knight have been on paid administrative leave – standard protocol in such incidents - since the death of the 23-year-old McShann.

Police said Knight responded to the scene on a report of a suspicious vehicle and came upon McShann, who was sleeping in a parked car with a gun.
Knight called for backup, and he and Howard later confronted McShann, who police said failed to comply with orders to drop the gun.
