"Luqman Ameen Abdullah did not surrender and fired his weapon. An exchange of gun fire followed and Abdullah was killed. An FBI canine was also killed during the exchange."
Note: My sympathy to the FBI agent in charge of the canine who was killed today. It’s hard to lose a good dog.
Thanks to a special emailer for pointing to this press release.
