Federal Drug Agents Shoot Teen Girl In Head

Agents Say Girl Drove Car Toward Them

POSTED: 8:53 a.m. CST February 10, 2003

A 14-year-old girl in critical condition after she was shot by federal drug agents conducting a surveillance operation on the westside.

Officials said the incident happened on the 800 block of San Joaquin shortly after 11:30 p.m. Sunday.

The plain-clothed Drug Enforcement Administration officers were trying to apprehend a suspect when the teen girl left a building with someone matching the description of the man they were looking for.

Officials said the teen and the man got into a car and began to drive off.

The federal agents said when they tried to stop the pair, the girl, who was driving, drove the car toward the agents. Officials said one agent fired two rounds toward the car. When she tried to back up, agents said they fired two more rounds at the car.

The girl was hit in the head by one of the bullets. She was rushed to Wilford Hall.

Officials said the man who was with her was not the suspect the agents were looking for. Police are conducting an investigation with the help of the DEA.
