It took a while to track this down, but the ATF’s Operation Fast and Furious program claimed three more lives last summer. USA Today reported on Tuesday evening that the Department of Justice acknowledged in a summary presented to Congress that a weapon used in a shootout that killed three Mexican police officers originally came from the ATF in its botched attempt to generate headlines about “straw man” weapons purchases and set the stage for gun-control legislation (via Gabriel Malor):

A new accounting of guns that were allowed to be trafficked to Mexico as part of a botched U.S. firearms investigation shows that one of the weapons was used last year in a deadly shootout that left three Mexican police officers dead.

A Justice Department summary provided to two Republican congressional committee chairmen Tuesday found that a WASR-10 rifle, purchased six years before in the U.S., was one of three rifles fired in the July 27 assault in the town of Valle de Zaragoza. It was not immediately known which weapon caused the officers’ fatal wounds.

Nevertheless, Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives officials traced the WASR rifle to a Nov. 12, 2009, transaction that was part of the flawed federal gun trafficking operation, known as “Operation Fast and Furious.”
