An FBI agent who fired his gun at a police officer outside a fitness club in Grand Rapids, Mi., was paranoid and couldn’t recall most of what happened, his lawyer said.
Police responded to Planet Fitness after 911 calls that a man was brandishing gun inside the fitness club. It turned out to be FBI Special Agent Ruben Hernandez, who was in Michigan from Los Vegas for an investigation. The officer tried to make contact with Hernandez, who opened fire. No one was hurt. He was arrested on assault charges.
Attorney Larry Willey said the agent’s recollection of what happened was “vague, hazy” and may have been affected by alcohol, the Associated Press reports.
