Across America, violent crime is down, with 2025 marking the largest single-year percentage decline on record. Behind those numbers is investigative work. ATF turns crime guns into actionable intelligence, generating leads that help law enforcement identify shooters, dismantle trafficking networks, and stop the next violent act before it happens. That’s our mission: To relentlessly focus on violent criminals while protecting the rights of law-abiding citizens by safeguarding lawful commerce.

WANTED - Michael Timothy Puckett for homicide of a law enforcement officer. ARMED and DANGEROUS. $10,000 reward for information that leads to his arrest.

The Carroll County Sheriff's Office is surging local, state, and federal law enforcement partners to locate and capture Michael Timothy Puckett. Additional resources from the FBI, US Marshals, ATF, along with multiple local agencies continue to assist the Carroll County Sheriff's Office and the Virginia State Police. Carroll County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a welfare check at Puckett's home on Fancy Gap Highway on Friday at approximately 9:30 p.m. When they arrived and made contact, authorities said Puckett opened fire, shooting both deputies, killing one deputy and injuring the second. He then fled the scene. We are asking the public to check surveillance video or trail/hunting camera images to assist in real-time tracking of the fugitive. We also ask home and business owners to lock your vehicles, close your garage doors, lock up your sheds and do not leave anything outside Puckett could use to assist him to elude capture. Call 911 if you see Puckett. @VSPPIO @USMarshalsHQ @FBI @ATFWashington

The U.S Marshals are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to Michael Puckett’s arrest.

Our condolences go out to the family and friends of Deputy Logan Utt & our law enforcement partners at the Carroll County Sheriff’s Department. We also pray for a speedy recovery of an additional deputy who responded and was injured during this tragic incident. #ATF #LODD #EOW
