Craig Robertson was shot and killed during an FBI raid early Wednesday morning.

A Utah man was shot and killed during an FBI raid early Wednesday morning, the FBI confirmed to ABC News. The raid was in connection with an investigation into alleged threats against President Joe Biden and others, according to two officials briefed on the case.

One of the officials told ABC News that the investigation began in April and the U.S. Secret Service was notified by the FBI in June. In addition to threatening posts, the official said, the man under investigation suggested online he was making plans to take physical action. The threats had been deemed "credible," the official said.

The FBI in Salt Lake City said the shooting occurred around 6:15 am. local time while special agents attempted to serve arrest and search warrants at a residence in Provo.

"The FBI takes all shooting incidents involving our agents or task force members seriously," the FBI said in a statement. "In accordance with FBI policy, the shooting incident is under review by the FBI's Inspection Division. As this is an ongoing matter, we have no further details to provide."

The deceased suspect was Craig Robertson, according to multiple sources and a federal complaint obtained by ABC News. Robertson was facing three counts, according to the complaint -- interstate threats, threats against the president, and influencing, impeding and retaliating against federal law enforcement officers by threat.

The complaint includes numerous social media posts believed to have been made by Robertson threatening to kill Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, as well as several officials involved in prosecuting former President Donald Trump.

Let me guess. Early morning no-knock raid by a large group of heavily armed men, who started by shooting his dog?

“the shooting occurred around 6:15 am. local time while special agents attempted to serve arrest “

What are the odds that this was a no knock assassination

The State of Utah should take the position that anything the FBI says is a LIE and go to a Grand Jury and INDICT the entire bunch for First Degree Murder, let them make their case to a Jury when their very lives are on the line.

I’m usually up over an hour by that time... I’d still be wary of any knock at the door that early. I’d be wary of any knock at the door any time of day these days.

“The State of Utah should take the position that anything the FBI says is a LIE and go to a Grand Jury and INDICT the entire bunch for First Degree Murder…”

Idaho tried that trick a while back against Lon Horiuchi. The Judge dismissed the case because he was a Federal Agent.

...agents attempted to serve arrest and search warrants...

or did the FBI just execute him? I'd like to see the video of the raid.
