FBI Fatally Shoots Man in Utah Raid following Threats Against President Biden
The FBI has confirmed that they shot and killed a man during a raid in Provo, Utah. The man, identified as Craig Deleeuw Robertson, was the target of arrest and search warrants after allegedly posting threats against President Joe Biden, along with other prominent figures. The incident occurred early Wednesday morning when special agents attempted to serve the warrants at Robertson’s residence.
According to court documents, Robertson had made threats on social media platforms directed at President Biden, his family members, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and former President Barack Obama. In one post, Robertson mentioned preparations involving a sniper rifle and a ghillie suit, indicating possible violent intentions towards President Biden’s visit to Utah.
During the raid, Robertson engaged in a gunfight with FBI agents, resulting in his death. The FBI has stated that they take shooting incidents involving their agents seriously and that the matter is currently under review by their Inspection Division. They have not provided any further details about the incident due to its ongoing nature.
Robertson’s threats extended beyond President Biden. He also targeted Alvin Bragg, referring to him as a political hack, and outlined a disturbing plot to ambush him in a parking garage. The charging documents revealed Robertson’s explicit intentions, stating, I want to stand over Bragg and put a nice hole in his forehead.
The FBI’s actions in the Utah raid highlight their commitment to ensuring the safety of individuals targeted by threats. The incident serves as a reminder of the seriousness with which law enforcement agencies handle situations involving potential harm to public figures. The review conducted by the FBI’s Inspection Division will likely shed more light on the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
