Bryan Malinowski, the executive director of the Bill and Hillary
Clinton National Airport, was shot in the head by federal agents on
Tuesday following a firefight at his residence in west Little Rock.
Early Tuesday morning, around 6 am, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agents arrived at the 53-year-old’s home
to serve a warrant when they were met with gunfire from within the
house, Daily Mail reported.
Arkansas State Police have confirmed that Malinowski was the individual who fired on the agents, prompting them to return fire.
The specifics of the warrant and the reasons behind the ATF’s
involvement at Malinowski’s residence are still under wraps, as
authorities have refrained from commenting further due to the ongoing
investigation.
Despite being critically injured, Malinowski
received immediate medical attention on the scene before being
transported to a local hospital. His current condition remains
undisclosed as of Wednesday.
However, a source close to the situation disclosed to Arkansas Times that Malinowski had been shot in the head during the shootout and has been placed on life support.
