Mary Fisher, 46, refused to stop when officers tried to pull her over and led the officers to her home around 6 a.m., according to Sgt. Vince Higgins, a police spokesman.
When the officers told her to get out of the car, she opened her door, pulled out a gun and started shooting at them, Higgins said. (

Just, wow. This is the first I've ever heard of suicide by cop pulled by a federal agent.

I think there have been some pretty sorry people appointed as U.S. Marshalls. It is a politcally appointed postition.
Remember a U.S.Marshall in the Washington DC area who shot a sailor in a sort of road rage argument. The Marshall was in the wrong even before he shot the guy. He got convicted I think but basically got a slap on the wrist.

Negative-this incident, as well as the one you referred to in Washington, involved DEPUTY US. Marshals. They are federal LEOs hired just like all of the other alphabet agencies (FBI, BATFE, DEA, IRS, etc.) with testing, interviews, etc.. Each judicial district has A (i.e., one) U.S. Marshal, who is a political appointee and presides over the Deputy U.S. Marshals in his district. There are, I believe, 78 U.S. Marshals in the US, but several thousand deputy U.S. Marhsals.

Exactly. I wonder if she has been sampling stuff from the bureau property room.
