WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Marshals have for the first time released data on shots fired by their officers or other police working with them. The report examined a total of 147 shootings from 2019 to 2021. Almost all of those happened as the federal agency tasked with fugitive searches arrested people on warrants, including for crimes like assault and homicide. The total includes fatal shootings, injuries and those where no one was struck. It comes at a time when data about police shootings remains scarce, years into a national reckoning over police brutality and racial injustice.
