An FBI raid early Wednesday to arrest a man who had threatened to kill President Biden ended with one person dead at a Provo, Utah, home, the agency said.
The FBI declined to identify the person who was killed. Agents were serving an arrest warrant on Provo resident Craig D. Robertson following his alleged online threats against Biden, according to a 30-page felony complaint signed by a judge Tuesday.
The complaint included screenshots of Facebook posts allegedly made by Robertson, one of which read: “THE TIME IS RIGHT FOR A PRESIDENTIAL ASSASSINATION OR TWO. FIRST JOE THEN KAMALA!!!”
Biden was expected to visit Salt Lake City, less than an hour’s drive north of Provo, on Wednesday night as part of a Western tour to promote his economic and climate agenda.
