Three soldiers were arrested by federal agents early Tuesday and accused of conspiring to buy firearms in Tennessee and illegally sell them in Chicago. The weapons were traced to at least one mass shooting and other crimes. Federal investigators say the weapons were linked back to an illegal firearms pipeline.
Demarcus Adams, 21, Jarius Brunson, 22, and Brandon Miller, 22, were arrested by agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) and the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division, acting U.S. Attorney Mary Jane Stewart for the Middle District of Tennessee said in a statement.
CBS has the news about some soldiers arrested by the ATF. Extremists, you ask? No, they re black soldiers selling guns to black street people in Chicago.

CHICAGO (CBS) Three U.S. Army soldiers who took an oath to defend this country stood charged Tuesday night with running guns to Chicago.
As CBS 2’s Charlie De Mar reported, some of those weapons were linked to a recent mass shooting.
Demarcus Adams, 21; Jarius Brunson, 22; and Brandon Miller, 22, were charged Tuesday with conspiracy and other offenses by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Middle District of Tennessee.
Three Fort Campbell soldiers are facing charges of buying and transferring nearly 100 guns to Chicago. Guns bought and handled by the men were later tied to shootings, some fatal, in Chicago, according to federal prosecutors.
The men, Demarcus Adams, 21; Jarius Brunson, 22; and Brandon Miller, 22; are enlisted members of the U.S. Army and stationed at Fort Campbell, which houses the 101st Airborne Division. They were arrested Tuesday morning by agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division.
Each of the three are facing charges of transferring a firearm to an out-of-state resident; making false statements during the purchase of a firearm; wire fraud; money laundering, and other crimes.
