And the ensuing investigation — at least for the public clamoring to know how a police chase ended in two innocent people shot to death on a busy Miramar street — has been equally confusing. hrld.us/34eCEf4
“Today is the fifth day and I know nothing,” said Luz Apolinario, the mother of 27-year-old UPS driver Frank Ordonez. hrld.us/2EadIeh 
The FBI says it’s the lead investigating agency, even though the two robbers are dead and can’t be prosecuted any longer under federal law.
Then there’s the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, which is investigating the police shooting, even though the feds processed the crime scene and took control of much of the evidence, including the robbers’ guns.
And state prosecutors in Broward County, who presumably would have to investigate whether police’s use of deadly force was legally justified, won’t say whether they are going to take the case.
Ballistics tests will ultimately show whether the hail of police bullets, or those from the robbers, killed UPS driver Frank Ordonez and motorist Rick Cutshaw. The FBI’s crime lab in Quantico, Va., will process the evidence.
One thing that is clear: The deaths of Frank Ordonez and Rick Cutshaw have cast intense scrutiny on police pursuits. hrld.us/34eCEf4
