New crime tied to 'Fast & Furious' involves Arizona officers: "In the second crime in the U.S. linked to "Fast and Furious," two Arizona undercover police officers were allegedly assaulted last year by men who had guns tied to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms' botched program, according to a report Friday."
The incident occurred in the Phoenix suburbs, when the two officers attempted to stop two men in a stolen vehicle, according to a the L.A. Times. The officers said that the suspects rammed their cars and tried to flee into the desert
The stolen vehicle was later found to contain two firearms - a Beretta pistol and an AK-47 semiautomatic assault rifle - that were linked to the ATF's "Fast and Furious" program.
The alleged assault occurred in March 2010, five months after the "Fast and Furious" program began in November 2009, and nine months before the December 2010 killing of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. Terry was killed south of Tucson in an incident where another two Fast and Furious firearms were discovered at the scene.
