An armed man who fired a nail gun into an FBI field office in Cincinnati on Thursday, was fatally shot after a chase and standoff with law enforcement. Officials say that the suspect, #RickyWalterShiffer, was also at the U.S. Capitol during the insurrection on Jan. 6.
Officials say Ricky tried to breach the FBI’s visitor screening facility armed with an AR-15-style rifle, when he fired into the building with a nail gun. After triggering an alarm, Ricky fled to his vehicle and a chase ensued. Officers fatally shot the suspect after he failed to negotiate with law enforcement and raised his firearm, Ohio State Highway Patrol spokesman, Lt. #NathanDennis, told reporters.
According to @nytimes Ricky was under investigation for having “ties to extremist groups,” including the Proud Boys. He apparently made numerous pro-Trump posts across social media platforms including Trump’s own, Truth Social.
