Officials from the U.S. Attorney’s Office describe the building as a modest, one-room structure measuring roughly eight feet by nine feet. It is situated on the range where firearms instructors oversee and direct live-fire training. Bauer, a certified use of force teacher, was doing live-fire pistol qualifications on the day of the shooting.
A piece of the statement mentioned that Brown carelessly handled his pistol inside the Tower, causing a single gunshot to strike Special Agent Bauer in the torso. “Special Agent Bauer succumbed to a fatal gunshot wound despite the life-saving interventions of on-site agents, EMTs, and hospital personnel.”
Bauer, as to a statement from IRS Criminal Investigation officers on Aug. 18, 2023, is survived by his wife and four children.
Individuals convicted of involuntary manslaughter of a United States officer may face a maximum term of eight years in jail and a fine of up to $250,000, as per prosecutors.
