How can FBI block state investigation? [View all]

There may be immunity for federal officers from criminal prosecution if acting within the scope of their duties, but I know of no law that would prevent the State of Minnesota from investigating the incident or demanding that the FBI give them access to evidence that would allow them to investigate (such as ballistics, etc). Minn should continue its investigation even if it has to bring the feds to court to demand access to the evidence.
