FBI agents had tried to apprehend Craig Deleeuw Robertson for making threats against President Joe Biden<b> <\/b>and other U.S. officials, according to court documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An Air Force spokesman said Robertson had enlisted in the U.S. Air Force on Feb. 2, 1970 during the Vietnam War, as a \u201cmetalworker helper\u201d \u2014 a role that no longer exists. He served \u201cfour years or fewer,\u201d Air Force spokesperson Michael T. Dickerson said, adding that he\u2019d been assigned to Chanute Air Force Base, which closed in 1993.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his civilian life, Robertson worked as a structural steel and welding inspector before retiring and turning to woodwork, according to his LinkedIn account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/utah-biden-fbi-assassination-threat-ba3cc1d3b2f6cca8bd429febdcf04219\" target=\"_blank\">FBI tried to arrest Roberston at his home in Provo, Utah, after the former airman made threats to President Joe Biden in Robertson\u2019s Truth Social and Facebook accounts, according to the AP<\/a>. A shootout ensued and Robertson was killed at 6:15 a.m. Wednesday, in Provo, Utah, according to a statement from the FBI\u2019s Salt Lake City field office to Military Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The confrontation came just hours before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2023\/08\/10\/remarks-by-president-biden-on-the-one-year-anniversary-of-the-pact-act-salt-lake-city-ut\/\" target=\"_blank\">Biden landed in the state to mark the one-year anniversary of the passage<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/burn-pits\/2022\/05\/24\/deal-on-toxic-exposure-bill-includes-more-va-staff-dozens-of-new-va-medical-clinics\/\">Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act<\/a>, or PACT Act, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/burn-pits\/2022\/06\/16\/here-are-the-veterans-who-will-benefit-from-congress-sweeping-toxic-exposure-bill\/\">dramatically expand benefits for veterans facing toxic exposure injuries<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Robertson had threatened FBI agents in social media postings back in March, when they tried to approach his Provo home to question him about threats against other federal officials, according to the Justice Department filing: \u201cTo my friends in the Federal Bureau of Idiots: I know you\u2019re reading this and you have no idea how close your agents came to \u2018violent eradication.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Robertson\u2019s accounts showed videos of the former airman wearing camouflage netting like a \u201cghillie\u201d suit, and holding a M24 sniper weapons system rifle, according to the Truth Social account referenced in the court documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>This story was produced in partnership with <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mvj.network\/\"><i>Military Veterans in Journalism<\/i><\/a><i>.
