100 Percent Fed Up noted:

“The FBI in Salt Lake City said the shooting occurred around 6:15 am. local time while special agents attempted to serve arrest and search warrants at a residence in Provo,” ABC News reports.

A federal complaint reportedly said Craig Robertson, the deceased suspect, faced three counts.

The three counts included:

• Interstate threats
• Threats against the president
• Influencing, impeding and retaliating against federal law enforcement officers by threat

Robertson allegedly threatened to kill Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and officials involved in prosecuting President Trump in numerous social media posts.

The FBI has been very scarce with details regarding the shooting and stated “In accordance with FBI policy, the shooting incident is under review by the FBI’s Inspection Division. As this is an ongoing matter, we have no further details to provide.”

Footage of the moments immediately before Robertson's death have become public.

A neighbor filmed the encounter showing FBI agents swarming Robertson's door Wednesday morning.

The Daily Mail reports the FBI agents appeared to throw a smoke bomb before fatally shooting Robertson.

Per Daily Mail:

One then flings what seems to be a smoke bomb, which explodes near the front door.

The actual shooting is unclear, but photos from the scene show Robertson lying on his back, dead on the sidewalk in front of his house.

'The FBI takes all shooting incidents involving our agents or task force members seriously,' the agency said in a statement.

'In accordance with FBI policy, the shooting incident is under review by the FBI's Inspection Division.

'As this is an ongoing matter, we have no further details to provide.'

Social media users criticized the brutal response from the FBI, noting threats against President Trump never met this type of reaction.

"75 year old man who needed a cane to walk was selected for extermination by the FBI. Notice that none of the actual death threats against Trump led to this response. Dark times ahead," Cernovich wrote.

"Once more the FBI have proven that the law doesn’t apply to all if comes to threatening a president. Elites and celebrities are exempt especially when they are threatening to hurt or kill Trump. They don’t get raided and killed like a 75 year old man in Utah who displayed his hate online for Biden," I Meme Therefore I Am noted.

"Isn’t it odd when the FBI murders an elderly 300lb handicapped Trump voter in cold-blood we IMMEDIATELY get menacing pictures of him and his life story and every social media post he ever made but when a transgender murders Christian children in cold-blood we get NOTHING," Benny Johnson noted.

Travis Lee Clark, a community member who knew Robertson, said he was "very political and sometimes made off-color jokes...but nothing that indicated it was a threat,” the New York Post noted.

Cont. from the New York Post:

After the FBI was tipped off about Robertson’s online threats, he began targeting the bureau itself.

“Hey FBI, you still monitoring my social media? Checking so I can be sure to have a loaded gun handy in case you drop by again,” he wrote in one post.

Despite his detailed and gruesome posts, neighbors said Robertson was a frail, elderly man who used a cane and not someone they considered dangerous.

“There’s no way that he was driving from here to Salt Lake City, setting up a rifle and taking a shot at the president — 100% no way,” neighbor Andrew Maunder said.
