EASTON, Pa. (AP) - A district attorney in eastern Pennsylvania says his office, not state police, should investigate a fatal weekend shooting by troopers.

Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli is criticizing the decision by state police to keep the probe in-house. He tells The (Allentown) Morning Call (http://bit.ly/2qIxg3r ), "I think it is wrong," and "We don't do things like we did in the 1950s."Two troopers shot and killed a man in Lower Mount Bethel Township on Saturday morning after state police say he tried to light the fuse on a firework around his neck.Guidelines issued by the Pennsylvania District Attorneys Association say that police shootings should be investigated by an independent agency. State police have long handled their own use-of-force investigations.State police did not immediately respond to Morganelli's criticism.The prosecutor will ultimately determine whether the shooting was justified.---Information from: The Morning Call,
