Master Blaster:
I also know a career FBI Special Agent, and he is a total gun pro, totally pro 2nd Amd, pro-Constitution, and as fine a man as I have ever met. The FBI agents I know are "the good guys." Very good. Can't speak to their political bosses, I don't know them. But the Special Agents I've known are terrific. Are there bad ones? Must be. I don't know them.
Preliminary information suggests an FBI agent killed Thursday during a shootout with three bank-robbery suspects in New Jersey may have been fatally wounded when another agent's weapon accidentally fired, the bureau said in a statement.
The report says "when another agent’s weapon accidentally discharged." It does not say "fired... on it's own" or "went off by itself" as other THR members are saying in this thread; even to the point of using quotations.
Officials investigating the shooting death of an FBI agent outside a Readington bank Thursday are trying to determine if a bureau SWAT team member shot his fellow agent after mistaking him for a member of an alleged robbery crew, a law enforcement official said last night.
Special Agent Barry Lee Bush was killed when he and a heavily armed FBI weapons and tactics team converged from separate directions on a car carrying a suspected bank robber across from the PNC branch along Route 22. A vehicle carrying the SWAT team rammed into the suspect's car, and agents tossed flash grenades out onto the parking lot, according to two other law enforcement sources.
Agents, who had been monitoring the suspects for weeks, had also been looking for a second car, a black one, carrying other crew members. A SWAT officer might have mistakenly shot Bush after seeing the agent emerge alone in the smoke from his black, bureau-issued sedan, one source said.
Even though the FBI said the suspects never fired a weapon on Thursday, the three were carrying plenty of ammunition: a .380 handgun, an SKS assault rifle, and an AK-47 assault rifle, all loaded and in plain view in one of their cars, authorities said.
Asked whether any of the suspects could be held accountable for Bush's death, despite the fact he was shot by a fellow agent, Ruiz said: "We're considering that right now. We're talking to the United States Attorney."
