Man who was at Capitol on Jan. 6 is fatally shot after firing into an FBI field office

Officials have identified the man who was shot and killed by officers after firing a nail gun into an FBI field office in Cincinnati on Thursday. Two officials who are familiar with the matter say the suspect was Ricky Walter Shiffer, and he had been present at the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Shiffer had reportedly posted about his desire to kill FBI agents following the search of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence. The motive for the attack is still under investigation, and it's unclear whether he fired the nail gun or who fired the fatal shot. No officers were injured. The FBI Director Christopher Wray condemned the violence against law enforcement and called for respect for the rule of law. Since the search of Trump's home, there has been a rise in threats against FBI personnel and facilities on social media platforms.
