    A Utah man was shot and killed during an FBI raid early Wednesday
    morning, the FBI confirmed to ABC News. The raid was in connection with
    an investigation into alleged threats against President Joe Biden and
    others, according to two officials briefed on the case.

    One of the officials told ABC News that the investigation began in April
    and the U.S. Secret Service was notified by the FBI in June. In addition
    to threatening posts, the official said, the man under investigation
    suggested online he was making plans to take physical action. The
    threats had been deemed "credible," the official said.

    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.

    The deceased suspect was Craig Robertson, according to multiple sources
    and a federal complaint obtained by ABC News.

    Among the posts allegedly made by Robertson was one published on Aug. 6,
    three days before Biden's scheduled visit, according to the complaint.
    "I hear Biden is coming to Utah. Digging out my old ghillie suit and
    cleaning the dust off the M24 sniper rifle," the post said, according to
    the complaint, which referred to the post as a "willful true threat to
    kill or cause injury to kill President Biden."
