Phoenix, Arizona – An IRS agent was gunned down by one of his own Thursday evening during a training exercise according to ABC 15 News.
ABC 15 News also revealed that the FBI is “investigating” the shooting which is being called an accident.

The FBI’s field office in Phoenix released an emailed statement vowing a “methodical” approach”:
The FBI’s investigation will be methodical and thorough to address every element of the incident,” an emailed statement said. Those findings will then be turned over to the U.S. Attorney’s Office (District of Arizona) for review.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) said the gun range was being utilized by multiple federal agencies at the time.
