Michigan Prosecutors to Speak on Renisha McBride Shooting 
----------------------------------------------------------


 
Prosecutors in Michigan are expected to announce today whether they will
charge a white man who shot an unarmed African-American woman on his
porch. Family members say 19-year-old Renisha Mc Bride was seeking help
after a car crash when she was killed by a shotgun blast to the face. A
toxicology report released Thursday showed Mc Bride had a blood alcohol
level of twice the legal limit to drive, but supporters say the results
are irrelevant. They have called for toxicology results on the shooter,
who claimed his gun accidentally fired at Mc Bride.
