3. I have to side with the FBI agent on this one

According to the 911 call, placed by another passenger who saw the encounter, the agent was confronted by a man and warned him to back away. The man instead prepared to fight him, according to the call. “The FBI agent said: ‘Move away. I’m an FBI agent. Back away,’?” the 911 caller said. “The other gentleman didn’t, dropped his bag, approached him to fight him.”

The agent fired “two or three” rounds, according to the witness who called 911. The account did not disclose what was said by the men before the shooting.

Valdivia was a project officer at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, working with community health centers around the country, before joining the FBI in 2011.

He worked on undercover assignments and most recently was a Supervisory Special Agent at FBI headquarters, providing “operational guidance” of domestic terrorism investigations,” Bonsib said.
