The FBI is confirming the death of an elderly Utah man, who agents shot and killed Wednesday morning.

The man’s name is Craig Robertson and the FBI visited his home after he posted threatening messages about President Joe Biden and other political figures on social media.

A shootout ensued when agents tried to arrest the 75-year-old Trump supporter, who was reportedly armed at the time.

Robertson’s death came hours before the president was to arrive in the state. For months, Robertson posted threats on social media. On Sunday, Robertson wrote he was “cleaning the dust off” his sniper rifle in preparation for Biden’s arrival.

He also threatened Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and New York Attorney General Letitia James. All three are connected to cases against former President Donald Trump.

The shooting is currently under review per FBI policy.
