Summary: 
At approximately 6:00 pm on Monday,  October 10, a U.S. Customs Air
Officer, while off duty was riding an ATC vehicle in the Mowray Canal
area of Biscayne NP (approximately 200 yards from Park Headquarters)
when he was approached by a male subject. The unidentified subject, with
a gun in hand, advised the Customs Officer to leave the area because he
was in the process of making a cocaine deal. As the Officer drove off
the subject fired two shots, one of which struck the ATC. There was no
personal injury to the Officer.

The Miami Dade Police responded to the scene, however they could not
locate the subject in question. This matter was not brought to the
attention of the Park Staff until Wednesday (10/8) morning. Ranger Bob
Gibbs, the Park's LES notified the Regional Office.
