A special agent with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is dead after being accidentally shot by another IRS agent during a training exercise Thursday at a federal gun range in Phoenix, officials confirmed.

A spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Prisons confirms that an incident occurred Thursday at their gun range, which multiple federal agencies were utilizing at the time through an interagency agreement. The spokesperson said no Federal Bureau of Prisons employees were injured in the incident.

Charlotte M. Dennis with the Phoenix Field Office of the IRS Criminal Investigation (CI) division replied to Arizona’s Family on Thursday afternoon, confirming it was aware of an “incident” involving one of its special agents. She said the agent was taken to HonorHealth Deer Valley Medical Center, where the agent died. “Our concern today is for the agent and their family,” she said in the written statement.

Give 87,000 government accounts guns, send them to training and there’s only one dead one?

Sounds like a new IRS agent couldn’t wait to get started on the 6:00 am swat audits.

"Our concern today is for the agent and their family"

Note no "his" or "her".... Tranny agent? No great loss.

“..I’m thinking it...but not saying it....”

You are not alone. There’s likely a whole bunch of us having the same train of thought.

You could try to get more information on the phone... but you’d be on hold forever.

“A special agent with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is dead after being accidentally shot by another IRS agent during a training exercise”

.

A special agent...

Is there a not-so-special agent?

Perhaps just a mediocre agent?

Or, in this instance a completely ordinary agent that is a total tard around firearms?
