The FBI has shot dead a man accused of making threats against US President Biden. According to court documents, he had published these on social networks in the past few weeks.
The FBI has reportedly shot and killed a man in Utah who allegedly threatened President Joe Biden shortly before his visit to the state. The man was killed by officers during a house search in the morning (local time), reported, among other things, the broadcaster NBC. Further details are still open.
It is unclear whether the man was armed or opened fire. According to court documents, he had previously published threats against Biden and other personalities on social networks. Accordingly, he wrote, among other things, that he would dust off his sniper rifle in view of the President’s visit.
Biden wants to travel to Utah in the evening. This Thursday he wants to speak in Salt Lake City about health care for veterans.
