ATF sting gone bad

[rdb241]

ABC Komo channel 4 news here in Seattle has reported that an ATF sting went wrong. Two under cover ATF agents posed as buyers for, what the news says, a large cache of weapons. Not sure what that means but we will find out. So the under cover agents met the bad guys in a Lowes Parking lot about 2 miles from where I was raised. The area is considered the west hill of Kent. Not sure where the city boundries are but the Lowes is on Pacific Highway South above the city of Des Moines. Right across the street from Highline Collage. All four guys were in a single vehicle. I guess they talked for a few, then the bad guys decided to take the money and rob the undercover agents. A handgun was shown and one of the agents shot one of the guys and the other guy ran across Pacific Highway and was hit b y a car. Both guys are in Harborview hospital and the guy that was shot may not make it. The guy that got hit by the car will survive. You can't make this stuff up! Everything went wrong for both sides. I will get some articles to back this up.

KIRO also ran it, I get their "Online Report"

Didn't click yet, but it sounds like to me that the BATFE finally shot the RIGHT people... for a change.

 

[IronMonster]

Yep, Just a couple of miles from where I just moved from, Glad to be out of that place.

One time I was in that Lowes and a couple of guys just ran out the doors with arms full of tools.... No one ever moved a muscle to try and stop them or do anything. Guys hopped into a waiting cart and sped off. When they got to Pac Hwy there was a cop car driving by.... I was really hoping maybe he would decide they were speeding or acting weird but nope, Just drove right on past.

So, I594 sting?

I don't think it was a specific I-594 sting as much as it was flat out illegal arms. It was not just for a single fire arm. They mentioned something last night about a "large cache of weapons" in the news broadcast last night. I am sure if things would have gone different that they would through that in as a charge also. Or maybe they still will. We will see how this pans out.

 

[Stomper]

Probably a bunch of stolen guns in that "large cache". If so, I hope the owners get them back!

That one time when they didn't know Henry Bowman was there...

 

[No_Regerts]

I saw that the press conference held with The Chief of Kent PD. People were asking him why a sting would go down in a public area. I wanted to slap that reporter. Obviously has no clue what goes on every day on the street.

Less time in them "bath houses", more time on the streets!

BATFE won't be involved in an I-594 sting unless some Federal Law is also involved. As usual neither article was complete enough to be able to know what was going on.
