Bernard Graham To Plead Guilty To Shooting At Federal ATF Agent In Gary
CHICAGO (CBS) -- An Illinois man is expected to admit he shot at a federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent in Indiana, leading to a deadly shootout last year.
Bernard Graham is set to plead guilty Thursday to armed assault and discharging a firearm.
The 26-year-old is expected to admit that he fired his gun at an undercover agent during a botched gun buy in Gary.
The agent shot back, killing one of Graham's partners.
A guilty plea will allow Graham to avoid a jury trial and maybe a life sentence.
