CINCINNATI — An armed man decked out in body armor tried to breach a security screening area at an FBI field office in Ohio on Thursday, then fled and exchanged gunfire in a standoff with law enforcement, authorities said.
Federal officials said the man had"attempted to breach" the visitor's screening area at the FBI office and fled when he was confronted by agents. He was chased onto Interstate 71 and has exchanged gunfire with police, according to the Clinton County Emergency Management Agency. Officials in Ohio have locked down a mile radius near the interstate and urged residents and business owners to lock doors and stay inside.There have been growing threats in recent days against FBI agents and offices across the country since federal agents executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago. On Gab, a social media site popular with white supremacists and antisemites, users have warned they are preparing for an armed revolution.
"Violence against law enforcement is not the answer, no matter who you're upset with," Wray said Wednesday in Omaha.
