"Arkansas Airport Director Killed in ATF Shootout Under Investigation for Weapons Sales"

Bryan Malinowski, the executive director of Arkansas's largest airport, died after a shootout with A.T.F. agents who were executing a search warrant at his home. The authorities accused Malinowski of illegally selling firearms, alleging that he purchased over 100 guns and sold many of them without proper documentation. His family criticized the raid as unnecessary and dangerous, stating that the accusations did not justify the use of deadly force. The A.T.F. did not immediately respond to requests for comment, and the Arkansas State Police will investigate whether the use of deadly force was consistent with state law.
