A man was shot and killed during an FBI raid early Wednesday morning
in Utah, the FBI confirmed to CBS News. Special agents attempted to
serve arrest and search warrants at a residence in Provo at 6:15 a.m.
local time when the subject was shot and killed, officials said.
Law
enforcement sources told CBS News the man engaged the FBI in a gunfight
when agents tried to serve a warrant on him. The man allegedlyposted threats online against President Biden and others, including Biden's family and former President Obama.
A
criminal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court in Utah and
obtained by CBS News details graphic threats gathered during an FBI
investigation against a number of public officials. The suspect named in
the complaint, Craig Deleeuw Robertson, was charged with three federal
counts, including threats against a president.
Online posts also showed an intent to kill Mr. Biden, the complaint
said. In a post dated August 6, Robertson allegedly wrote, "I hear
Biden is coming to Utah," and that he was "cleaning the dust off his M24
sniper." The complaint showed photos of the suspect with a long-range
rifle and a type of camouflage known as a ghillie suit.
Mr. Biden was scheduled to visit Utah on Wednesday.
