President Obama said Monday that Attorney General Eric Holder will travel to Ferguson, Mo. on Wednesday.
Holder will meet with federal agents conducting an investigation into the death of an unarmed black teenager who was shot and killed by a police officer Aug. 9.
"Let's seek to heal rather than wound each other," Obama said, in his second set of remarks on the situation in the past five days.
Obama flew back to Washington late Sunday night from Martha's Vineyard, where he is midway through a two-week vacation. Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon deployed the national guard to Ferguson early Monday after chaos erupted there Sunday night. A barrage of tear gas, smoke canisters and rubber bullets were deployed on protesters and police said protesters threw Molotov cocktails at and fired on police.
