IRS Agent Killed in Shooting Range Accident


On Thursday, August 17th, an Internal Revenue Service Agent was shot and killed by another agent during a training exercise at a Federal Correctional Institution firing range.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) said they’re actively looking into a “shooting incident” that occurred at the Federal Correctional Institutional (FCI) Phoenix firing range on Thursday afternoon. However, the FBOP hasn’t been able to provide additional specifics at this time.

The FBOP said that the gun range was in use by multiple federal agencies during the occurrence.

The IRS confirmed that an agent had been transported to the hospital following the occurrence, but regrettably did not survive.
