Two FBI agents were shot and killed and three other agents were wounded early on Feb. 2 as they tried to serve a search warrant at a Florida home, in one of the bureau’s deadliest episodes in decades.

FBI Special Agents Daniel Alfin and Laura Schwartzenberger died in the line of duty while executing a federal court-ordered search warrant in connection with an investigation of crimes against children, according to the bureau. The subject of the warrant also died.
