FBI kills Utah man for online threats against Joe Biden, Alvin Bragg.

The FBI Shoots and Kills Utah Man Accused of Threatening President Biden

In a shocking turn of events, the FBI has shot and killed a man in his 70s from Utah who was accused of making threatening remarks online about ⁢President Joe Biden and Manhattan District ‍Attorney Alvin ​Bragg.

The man, Craig Deleeuw Robertson of Provo, Utah, was‍ the ⁣target of an early morning FBI raid on his home. The raid took place⁢ at approximately 6:15 a.m.,​ resulting in Robertson’s death.

“The incident⁢ began when ⁢special agents attempted to⁢ serve arrest and search warrants at a residence,” a statement from ⁢the FBI ⁤said. “The subject ‍is deceased.”

Robertson was facing three felony counts,⁤ including ⁣interstate threats, threats ‌against the president, and influencing, impeding,⁤ and retaliating against federal law enforcement⁤ officers by threat.

According to the FBI, ​they observed Robertson ​wearing a dark suit with an AR-15 ‍style rifle lapel pin, a white shirt, a red tie, and a multi-colored ⁣(possibly camouflage)‍ hat with the word ‘TRUMP’ on the front.

On social media, Robertson allegedly wrote, “I hear Biden is coming to Utah,” along with a statement about cleaning ‌the dust off his M24 sniper. He⁢ also made other threatening posts, including one suggesting a presidential ‍assassination.

Neighbors described Robertson as‍ overweight and ‌walking with a cane.⁣ Some believe that his online threats were merely attention-seeking behavior.

“I don’t really care who’s president, I don’t think ⁤it’s⁤ cool to make threats​ like that, whether they’re legitimate threats or ‍not. Again, Craig, I would say, is a big story teller and likes the attention of big stories,” neighbor Cooper Robinson⁢ told Deseret. “So a man that sits ⁢at home all‍ day, doesn’t have much to do, if he’s⁤ on his phone and is involved⁤ in politics and has strong political opinions, I’m ​not surprised that he would make posts like that to try to receive attention. I’m just ‌hoping that the FBI has ‌some more evidence besides Facebook posts to want to​ raid his house like they did.”

The Secret Service has acknowledged the incident but deferred any questions to the FBI.

“The Secret Service is aware ‌of ​the ​FBI ​investigation involving an individual in Utah who has exhibited threats towards a ⁣protectee,” a statement said. “While we always remain in close coordination with our law enforcement partners, this⁤ is an FBI-led effort and we would refer any related questions to ‌the‌ FBI.”

The FBI’s Inspection‍ Division is now ⁣investigating ‍the shooting. President Biden is scheduled to arrive in ⁤Salt Lake City later today.
