Special agents with the FBI’s Phoenix field office are investigating the shooting. “The FBI’s investigation will be methodical and thorough to address every element of the incident,” an emailed statement said. Those findings will then be turned over to the U.S. Attorney’s Office (District of Arizona) for review.
The special agents involved in Thursday’s shooting were part of the IRS’s Criminal Investigations unit with the Phoenix Field Office.
Special agents with IRS-Criminal Investigations are the law enforcement branch of the IRS and are fully-sworn law enforcement officers who investigate violations of the Internal Revenue Code, including potential tax crimes, money laundering and some bank secrecy act violations.

This IS the case from a few weeks ago! (Aug. 18th) and still no hint at the circumstances!!
wonder how often we’ll see incidents like this reported after brandon’s 87,000 new hires in the lRS gets their guns?
PS: will they be hiring illegal migrants to fill these new lRS positions?
Are these are part of the 87,000 that will be given guns and directed towards us and our $17.52 in undeclared earnings from our garage sales?
Yeah, sure.
Hold my beer.
Maybe a POC, female or trans AA hire. The best and brightest.
The real story is “IRS agents training with guns”
It’s not too hard to not shoot a person. Rule #1 is to never point your gun at another person. You won’t shoot anyone if you never point your gun at them. Was this a female agent? I didn’t see the name of the shooter. I’m not saying women can’t shoot but some women shouldn’t be allowed within 10 feet of a gun. That goes for some men too.
I know I’m devastated. 😏
But seriously...
This article is dated August 17, so maybe this is that. I didn’t find any articles related to this on FR.
Well, the DOJ is suing Space X for not hiring non-citizens and refugees. So I guess that yes, the IRS will be hiring illegals.
It is not as fun as terrorizing and murdering law abiding citizens
IRS is a rough crowd; they shoot to kill and now are after you Schedue E cheaters.
“One less (Door)Bell to answer!”
IRS agents need advanced safety, precision, real-world hands-on practice ...
With calculators and excel. Disarm the Tax Corps.!
Important point that!
Perhaps they are planning to tax away 1st amendment rights without banning guns and then enforcing the crapstorm with IRS bootjacks.
As opposed to murdering a 90 pound white woman named Ashli Babbitt. HE got promoted.
the libs are the ones that armed them and increased the agency by 89000 agents. No IRS agent needs a gun. They collect Taxes, not round up dangerous criminals.
Yes, there was a human being with a soul who lost his or her life, and whomever loved that person are also victims of Biden’s tyranny. The ultimate blame lies with Biden. We should never forget that. It’s time we fight fire with fire.
