The FBI takes all shooting incidents involving our agents or task force members seriously. In accordance with FBI policy, the shooting incident is under review by the FBI\u2019s Inspection Division. As this is an ongoing matter we have no further details to provide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later reporting by\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wbbjtv.com\/2023\/08\/20\/family-seeks-answers-after-relative-fatally-shot\/pic\/1682348\/\" target=\"_blank\">WBBJ<\/a>\u00a0identified the deceased as Theodore Deschler, but did not include his age or other details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His family was left to pick up the pieces and is now speaking out about the killing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The family\u2019s review of Deschler\u2019s house found multiple broken windows. Other damage to the property included a yard destroyed by heavy trucks driving over it, shattered lights and a shot-up refrigerator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s three [windows] up front and two on the sides they broke out,\u201d the victim\u2019s brother Russell Deschler told the outlet. \u201c\u2026 They were shooting flash\u2026 smoke grenades.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Theodore Deschler\u2019s mother, who told WBBJ she was at the home when shooting erupted, revealed the thuggish behavior she saw when FBI agents finally made contact. According to her, agents pulled her from the home and rudely dismissed her questions in the minutes before her son was shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The grieving mother revealed another tragic aspect to the killing \u2014 Theodore Deschler was a completely disabled veteran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was a senseless act. You know Teddy was a 100 percent disabled veteran,\u201d Deschler\u2019s mother said. \u201cHe had problems. He had severe PTSD. He had depression but he was getting help for it. But this was senseless. He didn\u2019t have a weapon on him. He was just trying to get out of the house because it was filled with tear gas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the FBI has been largely quiet about the incident, the family asserts Deschler was unarmed at the time he was shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, the Deschlers are not the only American family mourning a death after an armed FBI raid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On August 9, the federal bureau killed a man in Provo, Utah in the course of its forceful attempt at serving search and arrest warrants. The 75-year-old man killed then, Craig Robertson, was alleged to have made threats toward President Joe Biden and other Democrats. The elderly man\u2019s body was left visible for hours after the shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neighbors described Robertson as a \u201cteddy bear\u201d and were&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/neighbors-furious-fbi-shooting-teddy-bear-utah-man-displaying-body-afterward\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">outraged at the killing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And there might have been yet another American killed by the FBI in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One day before the killing of Robertson, the FBI was found to have quietly executed another fatal raid, but details are being kept under wraps so the identity and nationality of the dead individual have not been released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the morning of Aug. 8, hundreds of miles south of Utah in Albuquerque, New Mexico, an individual was shot&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/another-fbi-fatal-shooting-happened-day-utah-currently-investigation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">during an armed FBI action<\/a>. The bureau has remained tight-lipped about the incident, confirming only the time of the incident and that a shooting had taken place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deadly matters in Albuquerque, Provo, and Henderson apparently still remain under investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While details of Deschler\u2019s killing, as well as those of Robertson and the individual in New Mexico, are currently being kept quiet by the FBI, it\u2019s clear that a disturbing pattern is beginning to unfold in this federal bureau\u2019s treatment of civilians it suspects of wrongdoing. The Americans involved and the general public both deserve more from the agencies tasked to protect them and the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/f\/severe-destruction-of-elderly-mothers-home\" target=\"_blank\">GoFundMe<\/a>\u00a0aiming to fund repairs of the Deschlers\u2019 home is currently live, claiming damages to the residence will cost more than $25,000 to fix.
