Matthew Malinowski, the older brother of
Bryan Malinowski, says the
agents broke down the door of his brother's home and shot him in the head with a high caliber rifle. The
family can't understand why.
"The ATF burst into his house, and they did it in a manner that was the most dangerous combination possible." Matthew Malinowski told WFMZ-TV in Pennsylvania.
"The easiest way to have taken care of this situation - the most common way - would be to wait until he gets in his car, pull over and arrest him. Or you wait until he comes to work and you arrest him there."
He said nothing short of the presence of a "weapon of mass destruction" inside the home should have triggered this kind of raid.
"I mean if these guys from the ATF knew their job - you do a flash bang, you throw a smoke grenade, you throw in tear gas, something to disable the person to get their attention to come on out. Flush them out. There's no reason to go in guns blazing like your playing a video game."
He also spoke about his brother's condition inside an undisclosed Little Rock hospital.
"We just talked to the doctor, you know, there was a large mass of his brains gone. And when that much has gone, just the shot of the bullet going through the brain turns the brain to mush anyway," said Matthew Malinowski. "So it's irrelevant at that point, you know, the whole brain is pretty much disabled... There was a gunfight, and he suffered the majority of it... and now he's brain dead."
The
family wishes to donate Malinowski's organs, but they say the ATF is standing in the way.
"We're looking for organ donations if possible, The funny thing is you can't even do that because
his body hasn't been released by the ATF. So even if he was able to donate organs - and he's got very many healthy organs - we can't even do that because the ATF is not responding. So not only is the ATF hurting him they're hurting other people, too."
Bryan Malinowski
joined Clinton National in 2008 as Director of Properties, Planning and Development.
He was
appointed Executive Director in November 2019 and was responsible for the overall administration, operations, maintenance and development
of the state's largest airport.
Airport officials were shocked by his violent and unexplained encounter with law enforcement.
Hours after it happened Airport Commission Chairman
Bill Walker released a statement saying, "Today's incident saddens us, and we pray for everyone involved."
Tom Clarke, the airport's deputy executive director, was named acting executive director. It's unclear if he will assume the post on a permanent basis.
The
Arkansas State Police Criminal Investigation Division has been asked to investigate the incident.
