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.

Yeah... I looked it up, apparently it’s a Dutch surname... so possibly his mother’s maiden name I’m thinking.
The Secret Service is under the Department of Homeland Security. The FBI is under the DOJ.
Threatening the president of the United States is a federal felony under United States Code Title 18, Section 871. The Secret Service investigates suspected violations of this law.
Again, why was the FBI there and not the Secret Servive?
You just do NOT make threats against someone with more guns than you. He paid for his stupidity, the gubbmint has the power and the manpower to preemptively clear threats before any event, and they do.
set up?
all hail joe biden
all hail joe biden
all hail joe biden
all hail joe biden
all hail joe biden
(trying to get my social credit score above zero)
The one openly advocating violence, or trying to recruit people to engage in violence, IS the Fed.
One Nation! One People! One Leader!
Hail Biden!
Hail Biden!
Hail Biden!
Hail Biden!
Hail VICTORY!!!
“set up?”
It’s probable that not many individuals in his age group utilize social media, so if the FBI relied solely on this to profile him, it makes sense. I’m curious if the FBI executed a no-knock warrant, and perhaps his dog or something else alerted him, leading him to investigate with a gun.
Rightwing Twitter is already openly calling this an assassination. Cernovitch, Loomer, etc. Cernovitch is saying the old guy needed a cane to walk.
We need much more information before drawing any conclusions. I can recall the raid on Roger Stone in the wee hours of the morning with an excessive show of force and conveniently covered by CNN.
We are being fed FBI propaganda now, but no answers about the factual circumstances surrounding the shooting itself. What triggered the use of deadly force? Was the man armed? Any of his family members present?
He has been making threats since Sept 2022. What was done to investigate and assess those threats?
Yuuuup.🤨
Looks like he hasn’t missed any meals.🤨
Nothing unusual about that. The FBI usually murder someone when they raid. It is just business as usual.
It’s not so odd if you’re Dutch, I’d wager.
He has been making threats since Sept 2022. What was done to investigate and assess those threats?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
why him?
why NOT all the numerous mass shooters they have had reports on prior their crimes?
Damn right they Executed him. Just like Lon Horiuchi MURDERED a woman holding a baby in her arms at Ruby Ridge. Sniper shot to the head. These agents need fed into a wood chipper feet first.
Indeed it shows the worth of the MSM.
The FBI killed him, which is why we need answers. Was deadly force justified?
Remember when the FBI sent a swat team to arrest a pro-life activist. It appears that one’s political views determine how you will be treated. The Capitol police killed Ashli Babbitt in cold blood.
6:15 am. ?
Was this necessary? Or...Was it a set up that was ***deliberately*** intended to provoke a confused response by the victim?
This tweet from a neighbor:

@JWhitebread1
The FBI just shot and killed an elderly brother in our ward. Financial clerk for years. Sweet guy. Full swat team. My wife is good friends with his neighbor, she and her 5 yr old were terrorized. Wife went to check on her. His body is still laying in the street. My God.
