Justice Department officials say they have met with the family of Freddie Gray, who died of a spinal injury days after being taken into police custody, and with an injured police officer who remains hospitalized.
The department says the meetings happened Tuesday.
Justice officials also say representatives from a specialized office that mediates conflict between police departments and communities are also in Baltimore and met with residents who shared concerns about a lack of trust in law enforcement.
Separately, the department says the results of a federal review of the Baltimore Police Department's use of force practices are expected to be announced in coming weeks. The department also has begun a civil rights investigation into Gray's death.
Meanwhile, at Baltimore's Camden Yards, the home of the Baltimore Orioles, just one gate is open for this afternoon's game with the White Sox. It's the gate that allows access to the media.
All of the stadium's other gates are secured with locks, for what's believed to be the first game in Major League history that will be held behind closed doors -- no fans allowed.
The decision was made to play the game this way in the aftermath of Monday's rioting in Baltimore that followed the funeral for Freddie Gray, who died following his arrest. The scheduled games Monday night and Tuesday night against the White Sox were postponed until next month, but baseball officials wanted at least one of the three games to be played this week.
Even though the stands are empty, the press box was nearly full, three and a-half hours before the scheduled first pitch.
The grounds crew is there as well, making sure that the field is ready for the one-of-a-kind game. (AP)
