Description

A MAGA armed man in body armor has been "contained" after trying to break into the FBI's Cincinnati office on Thursday, authorities said. The suspect was injured in an exchange of gunfire with law enforcement, authorities said. As of midafternoon Thursday, a standoff that started after the suspect fled was still ongoing. The man attempted to breach the visitor screening facility at around 9 a.m. at the bureau's field office in Cincinnati, the FBI said in a tweet. After an alarm went off and special agents responded, the suspect fled north onto Interstate 71. The suspect was armed with a nail gun and AR-15. The suspect was "contained" by law enforcement Thursday afternoon but had not yet been taken into custody. The FBI cited increased social media threats when warning agents to avoid protesters and ensure their security key cards are not visible outside FBI spaces.
