IRS Agent Shot and Killed By Another Agent During Training

[HoLeChit]

The headline and article text state that it was another IRS agent, but the actual news report says nothing of the sort? All she said was that multiple federal agencies were at multiple ranges within the complex and an IRS agent was shot in the chest. No other information has been released. How does that equate to an IRS on IRS shooting?

I know all about making assumptions, but a pencil pusher relatively untrained with firearms shooting another pencil pusher relatively untrained with firearms is a fair and easy one to make.

Maybe because that is what is being reported. Will the story change, who knows that's anyones guess, but right now it appears to be two IRS agents.

I’ve got a lot to say, but it’s all inappropriate.

When the IRS originally announced putting 81,000 new armed agents into the field, my first thought was here comes a rash of lost weapons, accidental discharges and improper shootings.
