Associated Press 2009-01-08 04:42 AM A U.S. federal agent has been charged with second-degree murder in the alleged 2008 shooting of his neighbor in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Justice officials say they arrested Agent William Clark with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. He also was charged with involuntary manslaughter and using a dangerous weapon during a violent crime.
The Virgin Island Daily News had previously reported that Clark had intervened after hearing a loud argument in an upscale condo where a couple lived. He is accused of shooting Mahogany Run resident Marcus Sukow.
It is unclear whether Clark had an attorney. The ATF did not return calls for comment.
The arrest occurred Wednesday.
