A grand jury looking into the fatal shooting of a man by police in an Ohio Wal-Mart will have to sort out conflicting accounts to determine whether charges should be filed in a racially charged case that has drawn national attention.
Twenty-two-year-old John Crawford III was shot to death last month while carrying an air rifle his family says he'd taken off a shelf at the store in the Dayton suburb of Beavercreek.
The grand jury is to be sworn in Monday. It's not known how long it will take jurors to make a decision.

The family's attorney says they are cautiously optimistic the grand jury will return charges.
