Authorities say a gunman in body armor who tried to breach the FBI Cincinnati Field Office is cornered by law enforcement in nearby farmland after a police chase.
from Wilmington, Kevin Williams said that helicopters and drones were"circling the cornfield" where law enforcement said the suspect was cornered, and"additional armored police vehicles" headed in that direction.
Rob Thompson, whose family has farmed 4,000 acres in the area for three generations, told Williams during the standoff that"he could be in the cornfield or a thicket of trees nearby, but they have him contained." While law enforcement agents in Ohio were pursuing the suspect Thursday afternoon, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garlandin Washington, D.C. that the U.S. Department of Justice was moving to unseal the search warrant for Mar-a-Lago.
Garland also defended the DOJ and FBI against right-wing attacks that have stacked up since the Monday search—echoing FBI Director Christopher Wray, a Trump appointee who Wednesday that threats against federal agents and the Justice Department are"deplorable and dangerous."
