Reports are coming in of an apparent break-in attempt at the FBI’s field office in Cincinnati, Ohio. The FBI’s Cincinnati office issued a statement on Twitter saying that at around 9:00 A.M. ET, “an armed subject attempted to breach” the office’s screening facility. “After an alarm and a response by FBI special agents, the subject fled north onto Interstate 71,” the rest of the statement reads. The suspect has not been named. Statements from the FBI field office and the Clinton County Emergency Management Agency describe an unfolding standoff in a rural area 50 miles northeast of Cincinnati.
