White House: We Expect Libyan Gov’t To Investigate Murder of American in Benghazi

“The president was briefed on it during his morning briefing, and all I can say right now is I can confirm that a U.S. citizen was shot and killed in Benghazi, Libya. We offer our condolences to the victim's family. The State Department is in contact with the family and is providing consular assistance. We are following events closely, and at this point, no individual or group has claimed responsibility. We look to the Libyan government to thoroughly investigate this killing. Out of respect for the privacy of the family, we have no further comment at the time.”
