FBI agents searching for an armed bank robber pulled over the wrong car last night on Fort Smallwood Road in Pasadena and shot a man in the face who had no connection to the crime, authorities said.

The 27-year-old victim, whose name was not released, was flown by helicopter to Maryland Shock Trauma Center and is expected to live.

"Anytime anyone gets shot, whether it's the right or wrong person -- we are traumatized by it as well," said FBI spokesman Peter Gulotta. "This is not something that we like to see happen. The circumstances will be thoroughly investigated."

The FBI field office in Annapolis, MD. (Anne Arundel County) is one of the most corrupt FBI field offices in the U.S.

The Special Agent in Charge of this field office is a Dave Midura and one of his agents, Marina Murphy are personally involved in very serious public corruption.

"Anytime anyone gets shot, whether it's the right or wrong person -- we are traumatized by it as well," said FBI spokesman Peter Gulotta.

I'm sure the victim of this "accident" will be comforted by the words of this thug.

The FBI under Clinton/Reno became a murderous group of Civil Rights violating thugs, above the law.

Granted there is a war on, but Bush has yet to clean up the Democrat Party stench at the entire Dept. of Justice.

These folks are beginning to resemble the BATF..........

Perhaps the President and Vice President should hire private security. The caliber of those protecting our administration is far from top notch.

Ain't that something? They murder an innocent citizen and to cover they steal a line from momma; "this hurts me more than it hurts you".

This is a good reason to take weapons away from federal cops until they figure out how to do it the right way.

Post the proof dude. Let us draw our own conclusions.

Interesting comment you made.

Sounds as though this victim needs a good attorney, ASAP.

Some lucky person just became a millionaire, at taxpayer expense.

Of course, he has to live with scars and pain of being shot in the face by some trigger-happy government agent.

You make a good point about Clinton. However, I have a hard time beliving that a "guy in the street", who is working for the FBI, is even going to be at that "federal level."

You see, it's the politicians that get the perks, and the "low life" that gets the job!

An FBI agent walked up to the car and fired a single bullet from an M-4 assault rifle, hitting the male passenger in the face, authorities said.

I thought it was illegal in Maryland for a person to own that rifle.

Oh, I forgot. The laws are only for us peasants.

This guy has just won the lottery in a painful way.

just tossing a tyrannical steak in front of a constitutional pitt bull...

I've had personal dealings with this FBI agent,Dave Midura and his field office and wouldn't trust him with my dead grandmother.

If the DOJ ever investigated Midura,he and certain of his fellow agents would end up under a federal prison.

Maryland, "A State of Corruption"

Obviously, we can't tell from the newspaper account but, I'm wondering what ever happened to, "Get out of the car with your hands up."
