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.

Lesson: Don’t threaten people with violence.
You know one thing I’m sick of? It’s people defending the FBI. I frekking hate the FBI. I wouldn’t be opposed to shutting down the entire clown show and hanging every damn one of their leaders. So avoid defending that seditious lot of traitors to me... please make a note of that.
“I’m certain that there are Feds who not only monitor but participate on a regular basis on these threads.”
Yes. And it is probably easy for them to obtain the identity of each and every Freeper as well as visitor.
I’d bet identifying and finding personal location information on Freepers was already done... after J6 if not before then. Nobody should believe the FBI doesn’t have a file on them.
Wonder if he was a Freeper?

There is no FReeper with that handle. (I checked)
You forgot the "UNLESS YOU ARE A COMMUNIST" part. People threaten Judge Kavanaugh every day in front of his house. ANTIFA threatens juries and just about ANY conservative who confronts them. Our Communist DOJ threatens Trump every single day. Biden himself has threatened Trump and other Americans by using F-16's on them! Blah blah blah, ONLY CONSERVATIVES AREN'T ALLOWED TO THREATEN VIOLENCE!
I’m certain that there are Feds who not only monitor but participate on a regular basis on these threads....
Count on it.
Yes. Federal police forces always become the tools of tyranny.
I know the FBI and CIA have a file on me. I already met with them and did a workshop for them in Washington DC. Freaked them out as I did a few demonstrations with their staff.
They know I’m harmless, but they don’t like people inside their heads. That scares them.
I’m an observer, not a participant. The outcome is predetermined as God is in control of the bigger picture. Everything happens for a reason.
Is this the utah victim
Yes... near Provo..
Just did a search of his screen name and this came up in an article:
“On Sunday, Robertson made a Facebook post alluding to his intention to kill Biden during the president’s visit to the state. “I hear Biden is coming to Utah,” the Air Force veteran wrote. “Digging out my old ghille [sic] suit and cleaning the dust off the M24 sniper rifle. Welcome, Buffoon-in-chief!”
“In an earlier status update, Robertson wrote of a “WONDERFUL DREAM” he had of himself in a parking garage in Washington, D.C., in gory detail.
“I was standing over the body of the U.S. Attorney General, Merrick Garland, with a bullet hole dead center in his forehead. In my hand was my suppressed Smith & Weston M&P 9mm, smoke wafting from the muzzle,” Robertson wrote, entirely in capital letters, on Facebook.
“The Star Spangled Banner playing quietly in the distance. I thought to myself; ‘What an amazing, patriotic moment’ as shivers of liberty and freedom swelled my heart for our amazingly great country.”
An agency complaint was filed on Tuesday asking a court for an arrest warrant citing the post as a “knowing and willful true threat to kill or cause injury to President Biden.”
In another post from September 2022, Robertson reportedly wrote: “The time is right for a presidential assassination or two. First Joe[,] then Kamala!!!”
“Biden is expected to land in Utah later on Wednesday and visit a Veteran Affairs hospital on Thursday.”
All cut & paste.
They killed a 75 year old man for e-mail threats. Could have knocked on his door at a decent hour and discussed the situation. But fbi has to play gestapo.
Wow! The FBI took out a 74/75 year old grumpy man 6:15 in the morning!
Caption was “Won’t you be my neighbor?”
Bingo!!!
I hear you! Great point!
Might be a ancestry family surname. Interesting.
Can’t trust anything the alphabets put out. FBI has no credibility. They are a domestic terrorist organization. Right up there with KGB, Stasi, Gestapo.
Next time they won’t even acknowledge the incident. The victim will just disappear.
I definitely believe Argentine style disappearances are on the menu for the near future... for all we know they could be happening now, right?
