The family of an Arkansas airport executive who died after he was shot in an ATF raid on his Little Rock home this week say they don’t understand why agents stormed into his house instead of simply waiting to take him into custody for allegedly selling guns as an unlicensed dealer. Bryan Malinowski exchanged fire with ATF agents early Tuesday morning, but as the Second Amendment Foundation’s Lee Williams reports, it’s not clear if he knew it was federal agents breaking down the door of his home, or if he believed the raid was actually a home invasion.
âThe ATF burst into his house, and they did it in a manner that was the most dangerous combination possible.â Bryanâs brother Matthew Malinowski told local media Wednesday. âThe easiest way to have taken care of this situation â the most common way â would be to wait until he gets in his car, pull over and arrest him. Or you wait until he comes to work, and you arrest him there.â
One ATF agent received non-life-threatening wounds during the gunfight and is expected to fully recover.
After the ATF SWAT team breached the front door, an agent whose name has not been publicly released shot Bryan Malinowski in the head with what his brother described as a âhigh-caliber rifle.â
According to the ATF, Malinowski, who was the executive director of the Little Rock airport, was also “engaged in the business” of selling firearms without a Federal Firearms License; allegedly buying around 150 firearms over the past three years and selling many of them at gun shows in Arkansas. That is a federal offense under current law, but we’re talking about a non-violent crime even if the allegations are true. So why did heavily armed agents decide to raid Malinowski’s home to take him into custody instead of waiting until he’d left his home?
