Operation Red Sweep

Operation Red Sweep was a CIA operation to eliminate agents John V. Harrow and Lorraine Harrow on September 12th, 1960.
On September 8th, 1960, Deputy Strategist Emerson Black would initiate the confidential operation regarding the assassination of the two fellow CIA agents.
The daughter of John and Lorraine, Jane, was to not be at home during the operation, leaving the parents as the sole victims. The night of the operation, sometime between 23:00 and 23:10, an unknown masked assailant would enter the Harrow household, and a firefight would commence. The agent would shoot and kill Lorraine and continue firing upon John, who would run into their daughter's room.
The assailant would shoot through the door, hitting John with a bullet in the shoulder. The two would get into a fistfight, with John grabbing a knife before the assailant would throw him into a bookshelf. John would then be pushed up against his daughter's mirror, where he stared down the assailant's gun. After pleading, the assailant would execute John, unbeknownst to him, that the daughter was indeed home during the invasion, watching through her closet.
Afterward, the Operation would remain classified under CIA documentation until 1991, when Jane would reveal these events and documents to Frank Woods while being drugged.
