US EditionWidow of former Little Rock airport executive Bryan Malinowski sues ATF over deadly 2024 raid shooting
- Maria Malinowski filed a federal lawsuit in Little Rock on March 19, 2024, after ATF agents fatally shot her husband Bryan during a raid at their home.
- The ATF executed a pre-dawn search warrant based on a lengthy investigation alleging Bryan bought and sold over 150 guns without a license, but Malinowski was unaware of the investigation.
- ATF agents failed to knock and announce their presence adequately, entered forcibly after less than 28 seconds, and Bryan fired a weapon believing the intruders threatened his family.
- The lawsuit alleges multiple constitutional violations, including unlawful entry and excessive force, and quotes Malinowski's widow saying the suit seeks justice for the "nightmare I've been living for the last 14 months."
- The case highlights questions about ATF tactics and accountability, with critics citing the death as preventable, while prosecutors have ruled the agent's use of deadly force justified.
