Authories are moving quickly on the police shooting case (more details here) by meeting with prosecutors and top commenaders. Not sure if this means a decision on criminal charges today, but it does show the department is taking this very seriously:

Baltimore homicide detectives have completed their initial inquiry into Saturday's fatal shooting by a police officer of an unarmed man in Mount Vernon and plan to meet with city prosecutors Monday to discuss whether criminal charges should be filed.

This does not mean that charges are imminent. Prosecutors could demand that detectives investigate further, conduct more interviews or gather more evidence. The state's attorney's office could file charges, rule the shooting justified or present the case to a grand jury in the near future.

But by quickly moving to the next stage of the probe into the controversial shooting of an ex-Marine by off-duty Officer Gahiji A. Tshamba, it indicates the department wants to deal with the case swiftly amid news that the officer had shot someone in 2005 while intoxicated.

Baltimore police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said Monday morning that detectives fanned out in Mount Vernon clubs over the weekend, seeking witnesses to the shooting and trying to determine whether Tshamba had been drinking before the confrontation with Tyrone Jones near a back door to Club Hippo
