Airport executive shot in firefight with federal agents at his home in Arkansas

[Pyrite]

Definitely strange! Have to see what the shooting investigation turns up. The shooting investigation is being handled by the state police I believe.

He was known to have multiple guns in his house.

White guy. Nobody will care.

Playing the victim again.

It's just a way of life I guess.

He was known to have multiple guns in his house.

So? Having guns in your home is not illegal is it?
Have any idea how many people have guns in their house?

As far as I know right now he was not a prohibited person.

I haven't said having multiple guns is illegal, have I?

I simply pointed out that law enforcement agents were likely aware the guy had multiple guns in his house - hence their CAUTION in executing the search.

(Sheeze. Common sense dictates you tread a little carefully....)

That is standard procedure when serving a warrant. Caution!

The ATF don't mess around.

Local TV station reports that the search warrant has been released

Released search warrant affidavit shows details of ATF case against Little Rock airport executive Bryan Malinowski ​

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The affidavit detailing the ATF case against the Little Rock airport executive who was shot and killed by federal agents serving a search warrant at his home was released Thursday.


In the heavily redacted warrant affidavit, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives claims that Bryan Malinowski purchased numerous firearms that he resold without a firearm dealer’s license.


According to the warrant, Malinowski purchased more than 150 guns between May 2021 and Feb. 27, 2024, which he then resold.


The ATF claims in the affidavit that around six of the guns Malinowski sold were found after being connected to a crime.


Undercover federal agents purchased another three from Malinowski at central Arkansas gun shows, the affidavit stated.


According to the affidavit, Malinowski would purchase guns through legal means, checking off a box on the purchase form that he was buying the gun for himself. He would then resell the just-purchased guns in as little as 24 hours through gun shows where he maintained a table or through private sales.


In one case, he was reported to have told an undercover buyer that all purchases were cash only.

I wonder whose boneheaded idea it was to go in there at 6am. Lucky more people didn't get killed.

Many dided in the final assault by the government. Investigators later found 76 bodies inside the compound, including 25 children.

That is actually SOP to serve search warrants early for the reason it is generally safest for everyone.

Safest would be when there's nobody home.

When it's dark and you're asleep, there's a really good chance you have no idea who is breaking into your home. Certainly NOT the safest situation for everyone.

Hopefully they had bodycams and he had a Ring cam so they can figure out exactly what went wrong.

Discuss that with the police. But, I think they will tell you there is a tactical advantage to 1) organize unnoticed, 2) get to the front door (and into a good defensive position) without being shot at; 3) get you early in the morning in your PJ's, rather than later in the day when perhaps drugs or alcohol is clouding the judgement of the person being served and 4) control the environment rather than risking other people showing up at the home during the day only to complicate things.

Also, police don't break into home (other than a no-knock situation, which is its own animal requiring a special warrant). They knock very loudly and announce their presence. Only if you do not answer do things escalate to breaking-in.

Police also need to serve the warrant to someone, if they can. But, the other tactical advantage to the police is that the suspect will often talk more and say more incriminating things during execution of a search warrant than at any other time in the investigation, arrest and prosecution process.

What seemingly went wrong here is the guy went for his gun and started shooting. We will have to hear the 'why' he would do such a thing. Its typically not a 'sober' approach to this kind of situation.

***UPDATE***



"The Department of Justice confirmed to us last night that the ATF agents involved in the execution of a search warrant of the home of Bryan Malinowski weren’t wearing body cameras," Cotton and Boozman said in a joint statement. "We will continue to press the Department to explain how this violation of its own policy could’ve happened and to disclose the full circumstances of this tragedy."
