Two employees of Blackwater USA have been terminated "for misappropriating firearms" from the company's training compound near Moyock, N.C., according to a company spokeswoman .
Blackwater's Anne Duke would provide no details of the firings, except to say they were linked to an investigation being conducted by North Carolina's office of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
"We are cooperating with the ATF," Duke said.
Earl Woodham, a spokesman at the ATF's Charlotte office, said Blackwater initiated the investigation.
