Two months after the shooting death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office remain silent. But family members, and others, are speaking out. Key developments include:
- 3 out of 4 suspects arrested at the shooting scene have been released for deportation.
- Terry family members fear a government cover-up means their son's killer will never be caught.
- Sen. Charles Grassley has launched a Senate Judiciary investigation saying the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives "may have become careless, if not negligent," in handling "Project Gunrunner," errors that may have contributed to Terry's death.
- Border Patrol radio logs from December 14 show Terry was shot at 11:15 p.m. No pulse at 11:40 p.m. Transported to a Nogales mortuary at 3:41 a.m. the next day, escorted by an honor guard.
The slug that killed Terry came from an AK-47 dropped at the scene. The weapon was traced to a Phoenix gun store, which had reported the sale to ATF's "Project Gunrunner."- The day after Terry was shot, sources say ATF arrested the man who bought that gun and many others, hoping to avoid embarrassment or an appearance of negligence.
