2011 Drug War Killings

Oops, you accidentally shot and killed somebody. That sounds like involuntary manslaughter -- unless you're a Massachusetts SWAT team cop on a drug raid.

A second deputy US marshal has been killed trying to apprehend a drug suspect this year. The fugitive was also killed. They are the year's 14th and 15th deaths related to drug law enforcement.

Being the subject of a drug search warrant proved fatal for a young Massachusetts man last Friday.

The year's second death during a drug law enforcement operation occurred Tuesday in Corpus Christi. Police said it was a suicide, but some local observers are assuming the worst.

A take-down of alleged crack dealers in a Lackawanna, New York, gas station parking lot has yielded the year's 11th drug war fatality.

A traffic stop as part of a drug investigation turned deadly in Fort Worth Monday night. Police blame the suspect, but locals want an investigation.

The drug war is killing Americans at a rate of more than one a week. The year's 10th killing happened Tuesday in Massachusetts.

A US Deputy Marshal and an alleged crack dealer became the eighth and ninth people to die in US domestic drug law enforcement operations so far this year.

A 25-year-old Colorado man has been shot and killed by Aurora Police undercover officers. He was carrying two guns, but it's not clear if he fired or brandished them.

A pair of South Florida brothers have become the fourth and fifth people to be killed during drug law enforcement operations in the US this year.
