“We recognize that Agent Terry’s untimely passing is a tragedy that never should have happened,” Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa, who sponsored the bill, said in a statement. “And while we continue to pursue answers regarding the circumstances surrounding his death, we resolve that his example of bravery and sacrifice will never be forgotten — especially in the city of Bisbee, AZ where he served.”
Terry was murdered in 2010 by illegal immigrants, according to CBS, who were part of a drug cartel and armed with assault rifles obtained due to Operation Fast and Furious.
The Brian A. Terry Memorial Act will honor Terry by naming the border patrol station in Bisbee after him.
