PROVO — A Provo man who had allegedly been making threatening comments on social media about President Joe Biden — including making comments about a "sniper" during the president's visit to Utah on Wednesday — was shot and killed while agents were serving a search and arrest warrant at his residence.

During the service of those warrants, Robertson was shot and killed.Robertson was charged Wednesday in federal court with making interstate threats, making threats against federal law enforcement, and making threats against the president. A redacted copy of the arrest warrant was released following the shooting.
On Monday, Robertson stated, "I heard Biden is coming to Utah. Dogging out my old ghille suit and cleaning the out off the M-24 sniper rifle. Welcom, buffoon-in-chief," according to court document."In my dream, I see Joe Biden's body in a dark corner of a DC parking garage with his head severed and lying in a huge puddle of blood. Hoorah," he posted on Tuesday.
"Perhaps Utah will become famous this week as the place a sniper took out Biden the Marxist," another posted on Tuesday states. In addition to making threats against the president, charging documents allege that on March 19, the FBI National Threat Operations Center received information that a threat was also made to kill New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
