Actually, if you go one step up (this often works) to http://www.wizard.net/~kc/ you come to something called 'GunDebate.Org'. However, when I get there it says it is still under construction. If their site is for the debate of pro / anti-gun, I think I'll usually pass! Debating different ammo choices seems a better use of time.

OK, folks, I think I've found it. Try http://dailypress.com/state/stories/e1460294.htm Apparently the URL was changed by the paper for some reason. Maybe too many hits.

DEA agent charged after parking lot shooting
HAMPTON, Va. (AP) - An off-duty federal Drug Enforcement Administration agent was charged in a parking lot shooting that left two men wounded, one critically.
Hampton police said Joseph Armento, 34, was charged with shooting into an occupied vehicle and unlawful wounding, both felonies. The agent, who works in the DEA's Norfolk office, was expected to surrender to police Tuesday, Hampton police Sgt. Jeff Walden said.
Police said the shooting occurred about 12:30 a.m. Thursday when three men leaving Rooney's Grille and Bar got into an argument with Armento and two other off-duty DEA agents.
Joey Turk said he and his friends exchanged words with the agents. When he saw that Armento and his friends were armed, Turk said he retrieved his own weapon from a friend's truck and put it on the hood. That's when the shooting started, Turk said.
Police said Armento was the only one to fire.
Jason Temple, 21, was struck in the chest, the bullet piercing a lung and passing within an inch of his heart. He was in critical condition at Riverside Regional Medical Center. A hospital spokeswoman said his family requested that no updated information on his condition be released.
Turk, 20, was hit in the upper left arm. He was treated and released.

Thanks, Mykl. That is the gist of what I had found but the other article was a bit more detailed. The AP article left out that the three DEA agents had been thrown out of the bar for fighting inside. Also, that the other DEA brandished weapons before Turk obtained his weapon.

No, you are right, they don't do this type of thing. I was not left lying on a highway, semiconscious and paralyzed, in the middle of the night after being attacked by an on duty LEO, either. Would never have found out who attacked me if he hadn't started bragging about the hippy he "brained" with his riot stick. No, these things don't happen.
