The DHS agent was an idiot.
A real terrorist would have been much more careful and would not have been seen.
A guy practicing with a pellet gun isn’t out for concealment; he just wants to plink.
Launching a SWAY response to a pellet gun just shows that the DHS employee needs to find a job with less authoritarian complications.

“The man who triggered it all was Ramon Hooks.

“Kinda crazy! It all blew up over an air rifle. It was real intense,” the 25-year-old man said.

Hooks said he had been target practicing at the house next door to his home when his dog got out and he went to look for her. Hooks said he even bumped into the Homeland Security Agent who was house shopping in the neighborhood.

“He was calm. I said, ‘Had you seen my dog?’ He said. ‘Yes, she ran around the back way,’” Hooks said.
Shortly afterward, the federal agent called for help, saying shots had just been fired into a house he was walking through. Deputies confronted Hooks and then retrieved the air rifle and pellets Hooks left on his front porch. They said there’s no evidence the men spoke before that call for help.

Hooks, a US Army specialist who served in Iraq, said he wasn’t aiming at the house where the federal agent had been. He said the target next to that house was an old one.

“If I felt it ricocheted over here I would’ve said so,” he said.

Hooks said he often uses the backyards between the two rows of unfinished houses for target practice with his air rifle, as do the neighborhood kids, and he said the folks who live in the area know these are not real weapons.”
