2021 Sunrise, Florida shootout

On February 2, 2021, a shootout occurred between David Lee Huber and several agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) at an apartment complex in Sunrise, Florida, United States.

At the time, the agents were serving a warrant on Huber related to a child pornography case.

At 6:04 a.m., FBI agents investigating a child exploitation case served a federal warrant at the Water Terrace apartment complex, located in an upscale gated community in Sunrise, 11 miles (18 km) outside of Fort Lauderdale.

Five agents were struck, two of them fatally, prompting a massive law enforcement response, including the SWAT team from the Broward County Sheriff's Office.

One of the fatally wounded agents, Daniel Alfin, managed to return fire, despite being shot multiple times.

[14] The noise incident was him setting off fireworks while shirtless, and when a neighbor complained, Huber allegedly threatened to chop his head off and made a slicing motion with his finger around his neck.

The coworker also said Huber had been fired from his job as a systems analyst after ranting against President Donald Trump taking away his medical coverage during a company discussion on healthcare.

"[4][5] The investigation led to Operation Bakis in Australia, leading to the arrests of 19 men and the rescue of 13 children in August 2023.
