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.

“threats against President Joe Biden”

Define “threats”.

Does that mean more impeachable evidence of Bidens corruption?

Excuse me, but they did not just let a guy go who had rammed a gate near the White House itself, and who had made specific threats the Bribem’s family and the VP?

Just... let him go...

I suspect a lot of old geezers are getting angry out there with all these indictments on Trump... we need to keep our heads...not good for anything dead, probably not even as second rate martyrs. Obviously we need to know the full story of what happened here... I’m not going to believe a word from the FBI.

“75-year-old Craig Deeleuw Robertson”

I bet they do not find any long-range M24 sniper rifle or ghillie suit. At 75 I do not see him being a threat to young FBI agents. They need to release body cams.

I agree with that (I’m 74 years old, myself), but I was considering “physical action” more active than trigger pulling....

Assassinating that old fart would be really poor judgement. Nature will take it’s course very soon with him, he’s very unhealthy looking. It’s the people pulling the strings behind him that are the problem long term.

"“The complaint includes numerous social media posts”"

Fraudulent Activity Case Study for social media post

  1. Purchase a disposable phone to validate a social media account, ensuring anonymity.
  2. Acquire an anonymous email service for the creation of a fictitious social media profile.
  3. Utilize the anonymous email and disposable phone to establish the fake social media account.
  4. Illegally obtain and integrate images and posts from an existing user's account to make the fraudulent profile appear legitimate.
  5. Begin to connect with friends and contacts of the targeted account to expand the false identity's network.
  6. Introduce posts or content designed to defame or incriminate the target within the fake account's activities.
  7. Report the fraudulent account to law enforcement, thereby implicating the targeted individual.

This sequence of actions would illustrate a methodical and deceptive process that could lead to personal or professional harm for the targeted individual. It would be valuable to explore preventative measures, ethical considerations, and legal implications within the case study.

One of these days the guy will have the smarts not to shoot his mouth off or do so only after preparing a better a better defensive position.
