Austin IRS attack
The 2010 Austin suicide attack occurred on February, 18 2010. Andrew Joseph was flying his Piper Dakota and crashed into Building I of the Echelon office, a building containing offices for 190 IRS employees in Austin, Texas. He killed himself and Internal Revenue Service manager Vernon Hunter. Thirteen others were also injured. The IRS field office was located in a four-story office building along with other state and federal government agencies. Prior to the crash, Stack had posted a suicide note dated February 18th to his business website. In it, he wrote run-ins with the IRS and ranted about the tax agency, government bailouts and corporate America's "thugs and plunders. Approximately an hour before the crash, Stack allegedly set fire to his $230,000 house located on Dapplegrey Lane in North Austin. The United States Department Of Homeland Security issued a statement saying that the incident did not appear to be linked to organized international terrorist groups. The FBI stated that it was investigating the incident "as a criminal matter of an assault on a federal officer" and that it was not being considered terrorism at this time.
