As far as I'm concerned, there's no excuse whatsoever for the FBI agent mistaking this poor kid for a bank robber and shooting him in the face through a car window. If your line of work charges you with the responsibility of carrying a weapon, especially a firearm of this kind of magnitude, you should never be allowed to carry it unless and until you have proven yourself competant in its use and have also proven that you know how to make rational decisions quickly and while under pressure. "Oops, my bad," is completely insufficient for the guy who got shot. And he's an Eagle Scout too! Believe me, I know exactly how hard it is to earn that rank - I just barely got mine, it isn't easy. This makes me so disgusted that I don't quite know what to say. The FBI agent should be fired and put in jail for a long time and the guy who got shot should be paid a huge sum of money for his injuries - I mean independently wealthy, set up for life courtesy of the FBI as the price for allowing the criminally incompetant access to a high-powered firearm!
