PITTSBURGH -- The new South Side headquarters of the FBI's Pittsburgh division is named for a special agent and area native who was killed in the line of duty seven years ago, WTAE-TV's Emily Ryan reported.

Martha Dixon (pictured, right), 35, originally of Mt. Lebanon, was killed in a shootout at the Washington, D.C., police headquarters on Nov. 22, 1994.

A stone marker reading "Martha Dixon Building" was unveiled Tuesday outside the FBI's $20 million facility on East Carson Street.

"She never wanted to be known as a female agent," said Dixon's brother, Paul. "She just wanted to be known as a good agent. I think that's why they named it after her -- not so much (for) her death, but her life."

Many current and former FBI agents and directors attended the ceremony. So did Dixon's family and colleagues.

"She's up there now looking down saying, 'I can't stand all this atttention,'" Dixon's partner, Jeff Bedford, said. "That's Martha."

Of all government buildings in the nation, only eight are named for women, Ryan reported.
