The shooting also is being examined by the FBI's Inspection Division, which will send results to the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, said Berchtold, who called it a standard procedure. "This is one piece of information from that day," she said of the 20 shots. "We'd like to ask people to wait for all the facts to come out to determine an overall reaction. The events that actually occurred in the warehouse have not been publicized." The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., and the Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations want a separate investigation. Outside the Dearborn Police Department, a small group of protesters stood near a sign that said, "Stop FBI Terror!" A lawyer for Abdullah's family, Nabih Ayad, questioned the FBI's tactics. "A lot of raids are conducted when a suspect has a gun. That doesn't mean you shoot them 20 times," Ayad said in an interview. Schmidt said the 20 shots caused 21 wounds, mostly on the left side of Abdullah's body, from the abdomen down.
