An investigation by the FBI into a police shooting in
Schurz that left a 17-year-old boy dead in July has been turned over to
the U.S. Attorney's office for review. FBI Special Agent Todd Palmer
said Thursday the U.S. Attorney's office in Las Vegas will decide if
further investigation is needed or if the case should be closed. Once
that agency is done with the case, it will be forwarded to the U.S.
Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. for further review, he
said.Tribal Police Office Walter Valline shot and killed Norman "Manny"
Boney Jr. July 15 in the yard of his Schurz home on the Walker River
Paiute Reservation after his father was incapacitated with a stun gun.
Police say the teen threatened Valline with a pit bull during a
confrontation with the father and son. Boney Jr., shot once in the neck
and once in the right side, died on scene. Gail Boney, the boy's mother
disputes the FBI's explanation about how the shooting occurred. [more ] Pictured above: Sadness fills the eyes of Norman Boney Sr. after talking about his deceased son.
