“Craig Robertson, come out with your hands up! This is the FBI.”
That’s what residents of a quaint, suburban neighborhood pushed up against Provo Canyon near the BYU campus say they woke up to in the early morning hours Wednesday.
“It sounded like it was coming from inside my house,” said one neighbor, who asked not to be identified.
What followed was a barrage of gunshots. Moments later, authorities carried the overweight, elderly man out of his house, placed him on the sidewalk and tried, unsuccessfully, to render first aid, according to the witness. Several neighbors said his body remained on the concrete for two hours as blood soaked through a white sheet paramedics placed over him.
The FBI has not released details about the shooting. The neighbor’s eyewitness account provides the clearest picture so far of the fatal encounter between authorities and 75-year-old Craig Robertson.
After the sound of about six gunshots, “you hear them yell ‘shots fired, shots fired. He has a gun!’ And then a whole bunch more shots,” said the neighbor. There was such a loud barrage they were unable to tell how many times the agents inside Robertson’s home fired. “They were all shooting at the same time ... and at that point in time, I was in get-my-kid mode.”

Uh huh
This is why when people call them the Gestapo, it’s getting harder and harder to argue against the claim.
The FBI just made every on-line idiot with a gun collection into a paranoid reactionary, hearing SWAT teams at night.
But then again, that's exactly what the feds want.
I’ll believe the FBI version of events when I see two or more body cam recordings.
If even then.
are they certain they didn’t hear, “Randy Weaver come out with your hands up! This is the FBI.”
Why has the FBI not stated he started shooting at them?
Not once have I seen that reported.
It really is way past time to disband the entire FBI and exiled all of management to Afghanistan
Do you get it, MAGADONIANS?
....janet reno was not available for comment.
Sounds like a Premeditated EXECUTION.
I don’t give a damn what body cam shows. FBI has proven they are untrustworthy. Elderly Overweight Man. WOW, FBI must have been scared sh!tless and needed to unload on him with AUTOMATIC WEAPONS
No worries the FBI will be coming for FR members soon, but they will surrender and land in prison...
Exactly.
I read of an earlier report where it stated the FBI had already previously interviewed this character. Lead one to believe this was not his first rodeo regarding threats made.
However, the FBI has a solid secure record of lying so there’s really no way to know at this point what the truth is.
"...After the sound of about six gunshots, “you hear them yell ‘shots fired, shots fired. He has a gun!’ And then a whole bunch more shots,” said the neighbor..."
So, if there is video, not created and stored by the FBI, that shows the guy with a gun, with gunshots coming from the house first, I will 95% believe this.
But the FBI SWAT team screaming "He has a gun" is not any indicator the guy actually had a gun, was pointing it at them, or firing the gun.
And the fact that I, as an American citizen, would take this stance about the FBI is not on me. Not a bit. It is ALL on the FBI and DOJ.
All of it.
Cops do this every time they discharged firearms as well. This does not mean the old man was shooting at them.
In fact, there are no reports from the FBI that Robertson started shooting at them. Not one.
Meanwhile Antifa can burn cities to the ground and they get rewarded with keys to the city
Another 6am wake up call from your friendly neighborhood gestapo.
