Well, this is certainly an odd one.
Our good friends at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives conducted a raid on a house in Little Rock, Arkansas yesterday.
Someone inside the house fired shots. BATFE agents shot back.
An ATF agent, whose identity was not released, was also shot in the exchange of gunfire but suffered a non-life-threatening wound, officials said. The agent, too, was taken to an area hospital for treatment.
The apparent shooter was also injured, and is apparently in the hospital.
The weird part? The injured apparent shooter (and, I think, the homeowner, but this is not explicitly stated) is…
…the executive director for the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport.
I’ll pause for a moment here so you can insert your own “I have evidence that will lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton” meme.
There’s something strange about BATFE raiding the home of an airport executive. But not completely implausible: they could have been looking for something like a Glock switch or other illegal machine guns. Or perhaps “fuel filters” from China.
I’ll be curious to see if there’s any follow-up on this, or if the story just gets quietly buried.
