FBI SPECIAL AGENTS SHARE THE GUT-WRENCHING DECISIONS THEY MADE WORKING THE DEADLY WACO STANDOFF, ON "FBI TRUE," TUESDAY, DEC. 12
"Waco: The Deadliest Siege" - An ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) raid on the compound of an armed self-proclaimed religious group in Waco, Texas, turns deadly after a terrifying shootout leaves four federal agents dead and more than a dozen wounded. The FBI's tactical and negotiation teams steps in. But as both sides dig in, concerns grow about the intentions of the group's leader, David Koresh, and the welfare of the children inside. After a 51-day standoff (known as the longest siege in U.S. history) the FBI must decide on the safest next steps to take down Koresh. Rick Shirley (a veteran of the Austin police department where he served as a crisis negotiator for 28 years), Charlie Rasner (a retired FBI Special Agent who worked domestic terrorism and civil rights cases before joining the FBI's hostage rescue team where he was awarded the FBI's Shield of Bravery) and Jim McGee (who began his career as a firefighter for the National Forest Service and received the Medal of Valor for Exceptional Heroism as a member of the FBI's hostage rescue team) tell their heart-wrenching stories to FBI veteran Special Agent Kristy Kottis about what happened during this historic siege and the deadly blaze that ensued, on FBI TRUE, Tuesday, Dec. 12 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs)*.

DESCRIPTION:
(from CBS's web site, October 2024) We’ve seen the wildly successful movies and shows, but what are the real FBI agents thinking when they come face to face with the unimaginable? Can they save a hostage, apprehend a killer, and thwart a terrorist? And who do agents confide in after the dust settles? They unravel their stories to each other -- the way real FBI agents talk to one another, with elbows on the bar with the grit left in. From Craig Turk, co-creator of the CBS drama FBI, and former FBI agent turned producer Anne Beagan. Each episode has agents meeting up at a legendary watering hole — just down the street from the FBI’s New York headquarters. This is where they’ve celebrated their triumphs and told “the real stories behind the stories” for a generation. Some of these agents, including former undercover operatives and members of the Bureau's highly specialized Hostage Rescue Team, are telling their tales for the first time. The dangerous missions carried out by the FBI agents nearly every day, here at home and around the world. Throughout the series, FBI TRUE gives viewers a look at never-before-seen investigative material like undercover surveillance video, recorded interrogations with hostage takers and terrorists, and personal photos from the agents themselves. Sometimes these cases will be infamous. Sometimes they’ll be unknown. But in every instance, you’ll be hearing the story from the agent who lived and breathed every detail. Cases profiled on the series include the Boston Marathon bombing on it’s 10th Anniversary, the Golden State Killer, the siege at Waco, Texas on its 30th Anniversary, the Oklahoma City Bombing, the D.C. sniper attacks, the San Bernardino Mass shooting, the Benghazi terrorist attack, the 2016 NYC Chelsea bombing and many, many more. Even if you think you know the case - you’ve never heard the stories by the agents on the ground. |
