Jeffrey P. Ryan, (March 17, 1972 - September 19, 2011), had joined the ATF as an agent just 37 days before the shootout, he formerly served with US Air Force from 1990 to 1994 during both of the Gulf and Bosnian Wars and served with U.S. Border Patrol from 1996 to 2001. He was next to Kuredjian when the deputy was shot, and the gunfire forced him to stay beside Kuredjian for ten minutes before they could be moved to safety. Ryan suffered from severe post-traumatic stress disorder as a result. Ten years later, he committed suicide, leaving behind a widow and two children.
