US News: FBI Fatally Shoots Suspected Joe Biden Threatener
FBI agents have shot and killed a man suspected of threatening US President Joe Biden.
The agents were carrying out a search warrant in Provo, Utah, when the shooting occurred, federal officials said.
The president was scheduled to arrive in Utah just hours after the raid and shooting.
The suspect had allegedly made threats against public figures including Mr Biden and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
The suspect had been identified as Craig Deleeuw Robertson.
He had allegedly 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”.
The posts indicated he did appear to own a long-range sniper rifle and numerous other weapons, as well as camouflage gear known as a “ghillie suit”, investigators said in court records.
Robertson also referenced a “presidential assassination” and made other threats against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, US Attorney General Merrick Garland and New York Attorney General Letitia James, court documents state.
