On the morning of October 4, 2021, at the Amtrak station in Tucson, Arizona, Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent Michael ’Mike’ Garbo, 51, was killed while leading a team conducting contraband inspections on a just-arrived train. Garbo, a DEA group supervisor with over 16 years of service, was struck when a passenger suddenly opened fire as agents were detaining one individual. A second DEA agent and a Tucson police officer were wounded in the shootout.

The gunman, later identified as 26-year-old Darrion Taylor, barricaded himself inside a train bathroom during a subsequent standoff. Officers later entered the restroom and found Taylor deceased. Another person who had been with Taylor was taken into custody at the scene. Taylor was later reported to have been a fugitive from California facing charges including robbery and assault with a deadly weapon.

Does anyone have information about the events on that train or remember seeing activity at the Tucson Amtrak station that morning?
