Five Minutes That Became the Bloodiest Day in FBI History

Eight FBI agents went out that morning expecting a routine arrest. Five minutes later, two were dead, five more were wounded, and one agent — already shot himself — fired the final rounds that ended it.
After an eight-month investigation into a wave of brutal bank robberies in south Miami, agents finally located their suspects on April 11th, 1986. What followed became known simply as the Firefight — one of the bloodiest and most studied shootouts in FBI history, a five-minute battle that permanently changed how every American law enforcement agency arms and trains its officers.
This episode reconstructs the shootout second by second, and the forensic discoveries that reshaped policing in its aftermath.
Part of The FBI Files, based on real case history.
