Slain Border Patrol's Family Sues over "Fast and Furious"
Agent killed in firefight, and guns sold through program found in the aftermath
The family of a slain Border Patrol agent has sued federal officials over the botched "Fast and Furious" gun operation.
Agent Brian Terry was mortally wounded on Dec. 14, 2010, in a firefight north of the Arizona-Mexico border between border agents and five men who had sneaked into the country to rob marijuana smugglers.
Two assault rifles acquired by a straw buyer for the gun smuggling ring targeted in the "Fast and Furious" operation were found in the aftermath of the shootout near Nogales.
