An Eagle Scout who was mistaken for a bank robber and shot in the face by an FBI agent in Pasadena on Friday remained in serious but stable condition at Maryland Shock Trauma Center last night.
Joseph Charles Schultz, 20, was shot at close range about 6 p.m. Friday when FBI agents searching for a bank robbery suspect pulled over his girlfriend's car.
Schultz, who lives in the 7900 block of Seabreeze Drive in Orchard Beach in Anne Arundel County and works with fiber optics for a local medical company, has no connection to the bank robbery, officials said.

As to being too old, heck best part of sailing is always fixing , tinkering or improving a boat. A friend has an older packet boat he's trying to bribe me into buying .......... I guess if the salt mine boss piss's me off then I'm going sailing regardless of whats ready or mine :o) You need crew ? I like the dog watch ......
Stay Safe !
Nor have FBI officials released information about how the shooting took place.
"It's an ongoing investigation, and under most circumstances we do not give out too much information," Maddox said.
Oh goody!!! Another incredibly competent and revealing federal investigation! Surely this will solve everything.
This is ridiculous. A federal agent shoots an innocent man in the face and all the FBI can offer in explanation is "there is an investigation'.
I've heard some reports that Schultz was cuffed and laying face down on the ground for quite a while before the EMS was even contacted, this while his girlfriend was screaming for help and the cops/agents were casually standing around, even laughing.
This is one reason I have to chuckle when someone says, "we can't judge until we have all the facts". When do they think they will get these "facts"? Not in our lifetimes!
Would have meant not whooping it up so much, I guess.
You missed the point entirely you "idiot"! (Your word) I realize people make mistakes. When they do I expect them to step forward and take responsibility for their mistakes. The FBI is covering this up and hoping to sweep it under the rug. That is what makes me angry.
If you want a government that is not answerable for its mistakes, then perhaps you would be happier living under a dictator somewhere. A pity the Nazis were not more successfull, you probably would have felt right at home living under them!
Ya mean they are now worse than the ATF?
I don't know if anyone truly knows what happened in the offing of Cooper. Let's face it; they had wanted to take him down for a long time. Maybe Ross is next.....
Granted there is a war on, but Bush has yet to clean up the Democrat Party stench at the entire Dept. of Justice.
The FBI has been corrupted and now acts like typical vile lawyer scum: above the law and out of control. In a sense, the FBI, like the entire Department of Justice is filled with Democrat Party "sleepers," kind of like al-Queda hidden terrorist cells. Time to seriously fumigate the house of these disgusting low-life vermin.
