Heartbreaking moment ATF raids home of Bill and Hilary Clinton Airport boss who later died from shooting, while his family says SWAT team never identified themselves when they broke down his door

New video of ATF attack on director from Bill and Hillary Clinton Airport in Arkansas has raised questions about the use of force by federal agents after he was killed in a shootout.

Bryan Malinowski, 53, died at the hospital at noon Thursday, two days after the confrontation with ATF agents at his home house in west Little Rock.

The search warrant revealed that Malinowski was suspected of trafficking more than 150 firearms between May 2021 and February of this year.

Bud Cummins, an attorney for Malinowski’s estate, released several clips from the Chenal Valley neighborhood on the night of the raid, which the attorney said took place while his client and wife Maer were sleeping. He adds that it is not clear that the officers correctly identified themselves.

One of the clips, taken from a neighbor’s doorbell camera, shows that the ATF arrived at Malinowski’s home that evening in at least 10 vehicles, leading some to wonder if the FBI had exaggerated.

Both videos show the ATF agents cocking their guns while dressed in full tactical gear outside Malinowski’s home.

Although police have said Malinowski shot at the officers when they served him a warrant, Cummins claims no such warning was given.

“At this stage there is no publicly available evidence to show whether officers knocked on the door or announced their presence, adequately identifying themselves,” he said. KATV in a statement.

He adds that Maer Malinowski “only heard a loud banging, immediately followed by the crash of the front door being opened.”

Cummins cites evidence that Malinowski shot at the officers at their feet while they returned fire, shooting him in the head.

He also says it is not clear who fired first.

“We don’t know who fired first, but it appears that Bryan fired approximately three times from a decidedly low angle, probably at the feet of the intruders who were about 30 feet away,” Cummins claimed.

Although officers did indeed obtain a warrant to search the director’s property and vehicles, Cummins believes their methods were suspicious.

“The Malinowski family believes that the facts already known amply demonstrate that ATF’s tactics on March 19 were reckless, incompetent, and completely unnecessary,” he added.

The ATF has requested an investigation into the incident by the Arkansas State Police Criminal Investigation Division.

The affidavit pointed out that six of the more than 150 firearms Malinowski trafficked were later used in crimes. ended up with a 15-year-old gang member in California.

Cummins’ statement follows a statement released by Malinowski’s family after his death, questioning the FBI’s approach.

“Even if the allegations in the affidavit are true, they do not justify what happened,” his family said in the statement this evening.

“At worst, Bryan Malinowski, a gun owner and gun enthusiast, was charged with selling privately owned firearms to someone who may not have had the legal right to purchase the weapons.”

The investigation began in November 2023 when authorities in Canada were tipped off by an informant about weapons that had entered illegal circulation.

Malinowski allegedly purchased the weapons legally online, stating that they were for personal use and acknowledging that the ‘repeated purchase of firearms for further sale is illegal without a permit.

But he was seen selling them at gun shows without asking for ID or paperwork, telling an undercover agent that none was needed for private sales.

That’s what the ATF said someone in Malinowski’s home opened fire when they arrived Tuesday and that Malinowski reportedly suffered a gunshot wound to the head during the ensuing gunfight.

Speak with Fox news last week, his brother Matthew Malinowski said doctors did not expect him to survive.

“It’s all speculation at this point. I got the feeling he bought something he shouldn’t have. That’s the only thing I can think of,” he added.

Matthew told it too NBC that officers “broke down his door,” leaving his brother no choice but to “defend himself.”

He added, “There’s something fishy here. The ATF went after him in the worst way possible.

‘There’s no reason why they couldn’t have arrested him at work at the airport. Something stinks like hell.”

Matthew said it seemed strange that his brother could become involved in the law, noting that he was well connected, made more than $250,000 a year, lived in a nice suburb and had a collection of guns and coins.

An ATF agent, whose identity was not released, was also shot during an exchange of gunfire but suffered a non-life-threatening wound, officials said. The officer was also taken to an area hospital for treatment.

Tuesday around 2:35 p.m., Little Rock firefighters were seen walking toward the house with a power saw and a Halligan tool — a large pry bar.

Shea De Bruyn, a neighbor, said KARK that she was woken up on Tuesday by loud bangs.

De Bruyn told the outlet: ‘My heart was beating and the dogs were barking. I’m just curious as to what was going on a few houses down.”

An ATF agent was heard saying they were on scene to help officers open a safe at Malinowski’s home, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported. reported.

Malinowski joined Clinton National in 2008 as director of real estate, planning and development before being promoted to deputy director in 2009. In 2019, he took over as executive director.

Bill Walker, chairman of the Little Rock Municipal Airport Commission, noted that the airport experienced “significant growth and success” under Malinowski’s leadership and offered his condolences to Malinowski’s family.

“Bryan was an employee of the airport for 16 years,” Walker said in the statement announcing his death. “Under his leadership, our airport has experienced significant growth and success, expanding services and offerings to our community and state. We extend our sincere condolences to Bryan’s wife, Maer, loved ones and friends.”
