Last fugative arrested in Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry murder
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/10/17/fas...ested.html
Quote:Mexican law enforcement officers last weekend arrested the man believed to be the final fugitive from the “rip crew” that engaged in a 2010 gunfight between Border Patrol agents that resulted in the death of agent Brian Terry.
Jesus Rosario Favela Astorga was charged Monday with first-degree murder in the killing of Terry.
"The arrest of Favela Astorga resulted from the unwavering commitment of the United States and our law enforcement partners in Mexico to bring to justice those responsible for the murder of Agent Brian Terry, who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving his country," Alana Robinson, the acting U.S. attorney, said in a statement.
Terry was killed on Dec. 14, 2010 in a gunfight between Border Patrol agents and members of a five-man cartel "rip crew," which regularly patrolled the desert north of Nogales, Ariz., looking for drug dealers to rob.
The agent's death exposed Operation Fast and Furious, a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) operation in which the federal government allowed criminals to buy guns in Phoenix-area shops with the intention of tracking them once they made their way into Mexico.
Sadly the co-conspirators from the Obama administration who armed the rip crew got off scott free.

RE: Last fugative arrested in Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry murder
There is still no proof that a F&F gun fired the fatal shot, correct?
Quote:Experts went to work on tests on Dec. 17, three days after Terry was killed, FBI records show. On Dec. 23, the FBI's "Report of Examination" said the fatal bullet came from a semiautomatic rifle, but that "due to a lack of sufficient agreement in the individual microscopic marks of value" on the weapons, "it could not be determined" which gun fired it.
FBI report at odds with ATF claim on weapons
Besides, aren't you always telling everyone that guns don't kill people, people kill people?
