READINGTON, N.J. - An FBI agent who was killed Thursday in a shootout
with three bank robbery suspects might have been shot accidentally by
another agent on his stakeout team, the FBI said.

Agent Barry Lee Bush, 52, assigned to the Newark office, died after
agents confronted three men suspected in a series of armed bank
robberies.

"Preliminarily, information suggests the agent may have been fatally
wounded as a result of the accidental discharge of another agent's
weapon during a dynamic arrest situation," the FBI said in a statement
Thursday night.

4. Who knows if it's carelessness or just bad luck and inherent risk.

They'll obviously look into it to try and determine that but, these things are never completely safe to begin with.

3. The ONE thing I think we can safely surmise about this is that

we will NEVER know the truth of what went down.

6. May he rest in peace.

Killed in the line of duty, working to keep people safe from bank robbery. But he had done more:

Mr. Bush had testified in two high-profile cases, the successful prosecution of terrorists in the 1998 bombing of American Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, and the conviction of James C. Kopp, an anti-abortion activist, in the death of Dr. Barnett A. Slepian, an obstetrician.

To name a couple of dangerous things.
