A Utah man accused of making threats against Joe Biden has been shot and killed by FBI agents before the president’s visit to the state
A Utah man accused of making threats against Joe Biden was shot and killed by FBI agents hours before the president was expected to land in the state, authorities said.
Special agents were trying to serve a warrant on the home of Craig Deleeuw Robertson in Provo, south of Salt Lake City, when the shooting happened at 6:15am, the FBI said in a statement.
Robertson posted online on Monday that he had heard Mr Biden was coming to Utah and he was planning to dig out a camouflage suit and “clean the dust off the m24 sniper rifle”.
Just two days ago Robertson posted on social media: “Hey FBI, you still monitoring my social media? Checking so I can be sure to have a loaded gun handy in case you drop by again”.
