On December 15, 2010 U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry lost his life while patrolling near the Nogales border in pursuit of armed robbers called “rip crews”.
The group of armed robbers were targeting marijuana smugglers in the area. When Brian and his team attempted to arrest the group, a robber shot Terry in the back taking his life.
The Fast and Furious operation, run by agents in the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, allowed criminals to buy guns with the intent of tracking the weapons. “All of the crew members have been tried and convicted, and seven of the eight are still in jail. They will be for the rest of their lives. But the Fast and Furious scandal still continues even today. And until that scandal is totally unveiled the Terry family will really never rest,”
