(CBS DETROIT) – A Detroit woman has been sentenced to seven years in prison for shooting federal agents during a search warrant of her apartment.
Gloria Bush, 42, pleaded guilty to assaulting a federal officer and using and carrying a firearm during and in connection with a crime of violence.
Agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration Special Response Team executed a search warrant at Bush’s apartment in 2021, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Officials say the officers announced themselves and were trying to enter the house when Bush fired two shots at them.
One of the bullets hit a shield one of the officers was holding.
“This case shows how our federal law enforcement partners put their lives at risk every day to do the work necessary to keep our community safe,” U.S. Attorney Dawn Ison said in a statement. “This defendant’s actions not only endangered the lives of federal agents, but also the lives of everyone living around her who could have been struck by gunfire.”
