An appellate court dismissed a lawsuit filed by the parents of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, who was killed at a gun battle worth of the Arizona-Mexico border in December 2010.
The lawsuit alleges the federal government endangered law enforcement officers during the botched “Fast and Furious” gun-smuggling investigation, the Associated Press reports.
Two guns found at the scene were bought by a drug-smuggling ring monitored through the “Fast and Furious” investigation.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with a lower-court’s decision to dismiss the lawsuit because of congressionally-mandated remedies in place for survivors of agents who die in the line of duty.
