Detective Ferency, while assigned to an FBI Task Force, was shot and killed outside the FBI Field Office in Terre Haute at approximately 2:00 p.m.
A subject drove to the gate of the building and threw a Molotov cocktail, then confronted Detective Ferency and shot him as he came out of the building. Despite being wounded, Detective Ferency was able to return fire. An FBI agent also rushed outside and shot the subject, who then drove himself to a local hospital, where he was taken into custody and subsequently charged with the murder of a federal agent.
Detective Ferency was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor and the Wounded in Combat medal by Terre Haute Police Department. He was also posthumously awarded an FBI Special Agent badge and the FBI Memorial Star.
