Airport Executive Shot During Wild Firefight With Feds

An executive at an Arkansas airport was hospitalized Tuesday after wild firefight with federal agents attempting to search his home, according to a statement from Arkansas State Police.

At 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning, agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrived at the home of Bryan Malinowski, the executive director of the Bill and Hillary Clinton Airport in Little Rock, with a warrant to search his residence.

ATF agents reported being fired upon, and then returned fire. One ATF agent sustained what police called a “non-life-threatening gunshot wound.”

53-year-old Malinowski, who the ASP identified as the shooter, sustained multiple gunshot wounds, including a life-threatening injury to the head, according to his brother, Matthew Malinowski. (Read more from “Airport Executive Shot During Wild Firefight With Feds” HERE)
