November 19, 2008 10:31

INDIANOLA, Pa. - An FBI agent has been shot and killed while serving a warrant at a home near Pittsburgh.

The FBI said the agent was shot early Wednesday in Indiana Township, about 15 kilometres northeast of Pittsburgh.

The agent's name was not immediately released.

It's also unclear who shot the agent and whether anyone was under arrest for the shooting.

The FBI would not say what the warrant was for.

A roundup of drug suspects was happening in the greater Pittsburgh area and federal drug and FBI agents were at the scene.
