jay gray, back to you. >> has there been any movement or any progress being made on the investigation side of this whether some legal action might be in the near future? >> reporter: that's a great question. there's been a lot of pressure and even pressing from the governor to get this investigation moving more quickly. a lot of people think that will help to quell some of the violence here. nbc news has learned that prosecutors may in fact begin to present evidence to a grand jury as early as this week. that would be really an advancing move. initially they said two weeks to a month before that would happen. that would be some good news if they could get that going and again it could happen as early as this week. >> all right. jay gray live for us in ferguson, missouri. thank you. a lot of people reacting to this. redskins players walking out of the tunnel in last night's preseason game. several putting their hands up into the air. this is a sign of surrender as a
