(Fargo, ND) -- Is there too much secrecy surrounding the investigation of Mohamad Barakat, the man who shot and killed Fargo Police Officer Jake Wallin?  

That's the question asked of North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley.

"It's not secretive. It's just that you know as people recall, I held a number of press conferences and press availabilities very early on in this investigation. We've been very, very open about the matter. It's a matter of public concern, not just interest, but concern with good reason," said Wrigley. 

Wrigley says he expects more information on the investigation will be shared with the public in the next week or two.
