‘Don’t you do it’: Reports detail shooting by FBI agent

Lorraine Hardy, an off-duty FBI agent, anxiously told a 911 dispatcher her ex-boyfriend was stalking her and waiting beside her truck in the parking lot.

While on the phone, Hardy yelled, “Don’t you do it,” before gunfire erupted and the line went dead.

Within seconds, another call came in to report that a shooting inside a crowded brewery has caused a flood of people to flee frantically into the parking lot. Inside, 43-year-old Cody Wrathall lay in a puddle of blood with two pistols nearby, one still in its leather holster. The man who shot him, off-duty FBI agent Eric Bruce, tried to stop the bleeding before help arrived.

Just after 8 p.m., police responded to the shooting at Nexus Brewery, near Interstate 25 and Montgomery NE, and found Wrathall on the ground, covered in blood. Several people inside the brewery had their hands up in the air as officers walked in with guns drawn...

Hardy told responding officers that she and Bruce, a fellow agent, had met for dinner at the brewery when Wrathall unexpectedly showed up, sat at their table and threatened them. She said Wrathall then went to the parking lot, returned with a gun and pointed it at her and said, “Let’s have a gunfight.”

"Hello, I'm a Smith and Wesson 38 Special, about to be legally sold at the
Rocky Mountain Albuquerque Gun Show, at the New Mexico Fairground, next month."

If my new owner commits a homicide with me he or she can sell me at a bargain price!

"My next owner won't even have to become entangled in pesky paperwork or government oversight. It's the same for my twins and their nastier relatives in most states in the USA!"

"My next owner, could be a heroin junkie, who will buy me cheap. The junkie plans to rob a convenience store for a little cash, some liquor and cigarettes and then jump his stolen bicycle and slip into a nearby apartment complex to lay low, before reselling me for more money than he ripped-off at the convenience store."

"Who knows, maybe someday I'll kill a cop or federal agent. Then, I'll be famous!"

11. X 6 9 (I can't spell his stage name)

Is testifying against co defendants in blood gang trial. He is a rapper so it has probably been receiving more media attention than it normally would have. Plus reactions in hip hop circle gives the story legs.

6. and for the record, the unique criticism of lack of gun-control is not about "banning guns"

It's about people selling and reselling deadly weapons, without having to document the transfers.

8. I read the article you linked

And saw nothing about the firearm used or how it was obtained. Your transition from the article to a the gun's soliloquy was . . . eccentric. Seemed one non sequitur deserved another.

2. Today's printed edition of the Albuquerque Journal bore this headline:

"Reports detail shooting by FBI agent"

The online version of the newspaper presents a different headline.

5. Why do readers think the online headline was changed?

I didn't buy the print version of the newspaper; but I wonder if other copy was altered.
