In Baton Rouge, District Attorney Hillar C. Moore has recused himself from the investigation into the fatal police shooting of Alton Sterling. Moore says he has a close relationship with officer Blane Salamoni’s parents. Both of Salamoni’s parents are longtime members of the Baton Rouge Police Department. On Monday, Moore said, “Given the history of a long and close working relationship with the parents of one of the officers involved in this shooting, there would always be questions of my partiality.”
