Two months after the shooting death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office remain silent. But family members, and others, are speaking out. Key developments include:
3 out of 4 suspects arrested at the shooting scene have been released for deportation.
Terry family members fear a government cover-up means their son's killer will never be caught.
Sen. Charles Grassley has launched a Senate Judiciary investigation saying the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives "may have become careless, if not negligent," in handling "Project Gunrunner," errors that may have contributed to Terry's death...
The slug that killed Terry came from an AK-47 dropped at the scene. The weapon was traced to a Phoenix gun store, which had reported the sale to ATF's "Project Gunrunner."
The day after Terry was shot, sources say ATF arrested the man who bought that gun and many others, hoping to avoid embarrassment or an appearance of negligence.
"I was his stepmother for 25 years, and if it is the last thing I do, they are not going to let this case die," Carolyn Terry told Fox News. "To me they're covering up..."
Four arrested were made, but the investigation has revealed that three of them were simply illegal immigrants and had nothing to do with the 'bandits' -- otherwise known as Sinaloa cartel members acting as a rip-off crew to strip rivals of money and drugs as they crossed in the trails near Rio Rico...
Just one person remains in custody in Terry's death. It is not known if he will be charged or treated as a material witness by the DOJ. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Phoenix and the FBI refused to comment for this report.

The ATF got this man killed because they were trying to push guns over the boarder to pad numbers they needed to enact their ant-gun agenda.
The gun used to kill this man was pushed over the border by Project Gunrunner agents after the dealer reported the questionable sale to ATF.
I heard this fourth guy was also an illegal, and that he was simply going to be deported...thus removing all witnesses from the country...

Of course it is.
Not sure what to make of this- yet.
The Arizona dealer was TOLD by the ATF to sell guns to known straw buyers for drug cartels. Only when guns are traced to border crime/Mexican criminals can the ATF claim their budget is necessary. Also, only when guns sold in the US are traced to Mexico can Michael Bloomberg and other gun grabbers claim the US is the eeeeevil arms dealer causing crime in Mexico. Google Project Gunwalker for all of the up to date information on Terry’s killing and those responsible.
Agent Terry’s murder: 3 suspects arrested will not be charged

TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) – Nine On Your Side has learned three of the four suspects arrested in the shootout that killed U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry will not be charged with his murder. In fact, all three suspects could be freed and deported sometime this week.
The FBI suspected bandits shot and killed Terry on the night of December 14th. Agents immediately arrested four suspects. But two weeks after Terry’s killing, KGUN9 News learned the FBI had yet to charge them with murder.
The Federal Public Defender’s office and private defense Attorney Leslie Bowman then sounded off by telling Nine On Your Side if the FBI had evidence it would have pinned murder charges on all four suspects.
