AP Exclusive: FBI says fed agent killing justified Associated Press Copyright 2013 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed. Updated 9:29 am, Friday, March 15, 2013 LOS ANGELES (AP) — An immigration agent was justified in fatally shooting a colleague who opened fire on their boss in a federal office building last year, the FBI has determined. The wild double-shooting at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Long Beach office occurred after Kevin Kozak, the second-in-command for the agency's Los Angeles region, turned down a transfer request by Ezequiel Garcia, who then shot him six times. The FBI spent about a year investigating and determined the fatal shooting was justified, bureau spokeswoman Laura Eimiller told The Associated Press. Ginger McCall, director of the open government project at the Electronic Privacy Information Center, said the FBI must disclose the reason why it hasn't made the ICE shooting report public. "The public has a right to know about the actions of federal agents within a federal building," said AP associate general counsel Karen Kaiser. There is significant public interest in understanding the actions of these agents, as well as the agency's reasons for its final determination.
