More 'Fast and Furious' gun turns up at Mexico shootout scene. A gun from the failed U.S. operation known as "Fast and Furious" turned up at the scene of a shootout between Mexican authorities and cartel gunmen last month, according to CNN. U.S. officials told CNN at least one AK-47-style gun that could be traced back to the failed gun-walking scheme was found at the scene. The ATF acknowledged that weapons from the operation would likely continue to turn up at crime scenes. "And we acknowledge that, regrettably, firearms related to the Fast and Furious investigation will likely continue to be recovered at future crime scenes," it added.
House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) led the congressional investigation into the program. Grassley, in a statement to CNN, expressed regret that no one in the administration had yet been held accountable. “Unfortunately, guns from Fast and Furious will be found in operations like this for years to come. Attorney General Holder lied to Congress that he had no knowledge of the operation when in fact I was holding the authorization for the operation signed by Holder. Lying to the American people and Congress is something that this President and those appointed by him do so easily and without shame; should be of concern to all Americans" he said.
