Guess the ATF did not have a dog to shoot.

The executive director of the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Arkansas, who was wounded during a firefight at his home Tuesday morning, allegedly shot at federal agents as they were attempting to serve a search warrant, authorities said.

Bryan Malinowski, 53, was struck during the gunfire exchange just after 6 a.m., as agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) arrived, the agency said.

"The subject of the investigation was injured with gunshot wounds and treated on scene by paramedics before being transported to a local hospital," the ATF said in a statement.

The wounded agent had non-life-threatening injuries, the ATF said.

On Wednesday, Malinowski's older brother, Matthew Malinowski, 55, told Fox News Digital that his brother was shot in the head and that doctors didn't expect him to survive. He was unconscious as of Wednesday, he said.

The ATF declined to say what the search warrant was in relation to, and Matthew Malinowski, a Pennsylvania resident, said he hadn't been told anything about the circumstances of the case. He noted that his brother was an avid collector of firearms.

"It's all speculation at this point," he said. "I got a feeling that he bought something he shouldn't have. That's the only thing I can think of."

The shooting came as a shock to the younger Malinowski, who said his brother was in Washington D.C., a few days ago meeting with Arkansas senators.

"That's the circle he ran in," he said.

Bryan Malinowski also owned five properties, made somewhere between $270,000 to $280,000 annually, and was responsible for around 2,000 employees under him at the airport in Little Rock, his brother said.

"When you're in that position, life is great. Why would you screw it up with a small infraction," Matthew Malinowski said. "He always kept his nose clean. He had no enemies that I know of."

Bryan Malinowski's mother, Barbara Haigh, expressed grief at the situation.

"That's my baby. That's one of my babies," she said.

Arkansas State Police are investigating the case.

Shane Carter, public affairs director for the Clinton National Airport, previously told Fox News Digital that Malinowski is the airport's executive director. He declined to comment further.

Hours after the shooting, however, Airport Commission Chairman Bill Walker named Tom Clarke as acting airport executive director.

"Today's incident saddens us, and we pray for everyone involved," he said Tuesday. "As the chairman of the Little Rock Municipal Airport Commission, I have named Tom Clarke, the airport's deputy executive director, as acting executive director. The airport's day-to-day operations continue as normal."

Malinowski joined Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in 2008, as director of Properties, Planning and Development and was promoted to deputy director in 2009, according to his biography on the airport website. He became executive director in 2019, according to a profile on the airport's website.

He brought more than 30 years of airport leadership experience when he was hired, holding positions with the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, El Paso International Airport and Lehigh Valley International Airport.

Shea De Bruyn, who lives next to Malinowski, told FOX 16 that she woke up to gunfire across the street.

"I heard about five or six, like, loud bangs," De Bruyn said. "My heart was racing and the dogs were barking. I’m just really curious as to what was going on just a few houses down."
 
I saw the name of the airport and thought it was a Sacramento Babylon Bee article.

Facts are missing, but the foundation to note is you have the right to use deadly force in your own house, to a degree. Most states have a legal presumption that allows the use of deadly force on an intruder. But that presumption can be undone if an objective person wouldn't have been in fear for their life. If you're waiting behind the door with an AR, when you can see police outside with lights going, and just ambush them, that's going to be a murder. But if cops dive through your window at 3am and you have the pistol under your pillow and just pop off, it's more defensible.

So to answer your question, it depends.

I don't like no-knock warrants, as the risk-reward isn't there.

Sure thing. Police or no Police that's the same thing.

Little mind boggling this isn't as clear cut as it gets in terms of self-defense.

Well... one could argue if you wanted to get rid of someone this would be a great solution...

Dude was the director of the airport. They could not have arrested him at work or in the airport parking lot?

Cries in Koresh.
 
Article said 6 am serving the warrant. I'm going no knock as my assumption.

Hope the dude lives and is able to defend himself in court if that's the case. I despise no knock warrants, I don't see any situation where they are the best option. Even if the dude is a known dangerous motherfucker, the way you keep the public most safe is to take the shithead down immediately, not wait until he's asleep and had a whole day to create mayhem in the meantime. If you are that scared, come to the door behind your bullet proof shields and ring the fuckin bell or knock. Holler police and retreat and see what the fuck happens when they look out overwhelming force. Worst case, you scared the shit out of the people in the wrong house. That's a hell of a lot better than the worst case for a no-knock warrant.
