As a retired DEA agent, I am sad to see that our agency has lost another hero in the line of duty. Special Agent Mike Garbo was shot and killed at the Tucson train station on October 4 while conducting a drug investigation. Also shot and wounded were another DEA agent and Tucson PD officer. One suspect was killed and a second was arrested.
Here is a statement issued on October 5, by DEA Administrator Anne Milgram.
DEA agents have one of the most dangerous jobs in law enforcement. When we lose one of our own, it impacts the entire organization whether we knew the agent or not.
I pray for the family of Mike Garbo and for the recovery of the other DEA agent and Tucson Police Department officer.
* A Go Fund Me page has been set up to help defray the funeral expenses of the Garbo family.
