Memorial set for border agent Terry

Posted: Friday, December 31, 2010 12:00 am

A public memorial service will be held in Tucson for a U.S. Border Patrol agent killed earlier this month in a shootout with border bandits.

The service for 40-year-old agent Brian A. Terry will be held at 11 a.m. on Jan. 21 at Kino Stadium, formerly known as Tucson Electric Park.

Terry was waiting with three other agents north of Nogales on Dec. 14 when a gunbattle with the bandits began. Four suspects were arrested.

FBI spokeswoman Susan Herskovits would not provide details of the investigation.

Bandits have long roamed border areas, robbing and sexually assaulting illegal immigrants as they cross into the country.

A memorial service for Terry was held Dec. 22 in his native Michigan.
