They haven't announced anything because they can't, not because they are busy cooking up a story. I'd love for them to be able to make a full statement and release un-cut body camera footage right after an incident, along with a full bio of the subject that got shot.
But then the complaint would be that privacy isn't being respected and the police shouldn't be allowed to tell everyone that their perfect child or kid has a history to resisting arrest, threatening people with firearms and had an open warrant for a sex crime, so they're screwed either way.
