The suspect had “intent to kill” the US leader and New York prosecutor Alvin Bragg, officials claimed
US federal agents have fatally shot a Utah man accused of making threats against President Joe Biden and other public figures, the FBI said, just hours before the commander in chief arrived in the state for an official visit.
The shooting unfolded early on Wednesday morning as FBI agents attempted to serve a search and arrest warrant at the Provo, Utah home of Craig Deleeuw Robertson, who was identified in court documents obtained by several media outlets. The man was wanted on three federal charges, including making threats against the president and law enforcement, as well as interstate threats.
Robertson had “intent to kill, at a minimum, [Manhattan District Attorney Alvin] Bragg and President Joe Biden,” the government said in its filing, adding that the suspect had made online threats toward Biden as recently as Monday.
