ATF senior special agent, John Capano died in his hometown in New York on New Year's Eve, killed in a "friendly fire" shooting trying to stop a pharmacy robbery, becoming the first agent for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to be killed by gunfire in the line of duty since the infamous raid on a religious cult compound in Waco, Texas, in 1993.
A spokesman for the ATF said Thursday that although Capano was not scheduled to be working that day ... his death is still considered to have happened in the line of duty. Spokesman Steven Bartholomew said that when Capano took action to stop the robbery in progress, he was acting as an ATF agent.:question:
