SILVER SPRING, Md. (AP) -- Maryland state's attorney's officials have asked police to not release video footage police say shows a man knock an officer down and stand over him as the officer fatally shoots him.

A department release says they asked the police to not yet publicly release body camera footage because it could hurt their investigation.
