On April 11, 1986, in Miami, Florida, eight FBI agents, and two murderous bank robbers engaged in a five-minute gunfight. There were 150 shots fired during the incident. In the end, nine out of the ten participants were shot. The two bank robbers were dead, as well as two FBI agents. Five other agents were wounded including FBI Special Agent Ed Mireles who was shot twice. This event changed law enforcement training, equipment, and tactics throughout the U.S. This incident is known as the “FBI Miami Firefight.” It is a monumental event that has been referred to as the OK Corral shooting of the 20th century and “Five Minutes that Changed the Bureau.” Read how Special Agent Ed Mireles improvised, adapted, and overcame insurmountable obstacles to persevere and eventually end the gunfight by killing the two bank robbers. Ed Mireles was the last man standing! Ed Mireles discusses his thoughts and actions that ended the gunfight.https://edmireles.com/ Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/theprotectors)
