On February 28, 1993, ATF Agents execute warrants at the Branch Davidian Compound in Waco, Texas. Heavily armed cult members ambush the agents. The ensuing shoot-out claimed the lives of four ATF Special Agents. The September 1993 U.S. Department of Treasury Administrative Review concludes: “… the agency is made up of dedicated, committed and experienced professionals, who have regularly demonstrated sound judgment and remarkable courage in enforcing the law. ATF has a history of success in conducting complex investigations and executing dangerous and challenging law enforcement missions. That fine tradition, together with the line agents’ commitment to the truth and their courage and determination has enabled ATF to provide our country with a safer and more secure nation under law.”
