During a raid on Wednesday morning, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents fatally shot a man in Utah who was under investigation for threats against US President Joe Biden, with no further identification.
The FBI agents attempted to enter a home in Provo, according to Salt Lake City NBC television affiliate, KSL.
The investigation began in April and the Secret Service was alerted in June, anonymous officials told ABC News.

“The subject is deceased. The FBI takes all shooting incidents involving our agents or task force members seriously,” the spokesperson added.
