The family of slain border patrol agent Brian Terry has threatened to file a $25 million wrongful death suit against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives citing the government’s roll in Terry’s death. Brian Terry was killed with an AK47 that was knowing sold to drug cartels under the Fast and Furious gun running probe that has been in place for several years now.
