Loner gunman who attacked FBI office with a nail gun was a Navy veteran with top-secret clearance who accumulated several speeding tickets and was devoted to former President Trump.

was a Navy veteran with top-secret clearance who served on submarines and apparently had a need for speed, records and sources revealed Friday.

Shiffer, who was 42 when he died Thursday after a standoff with pursuing police officers, enlisted in the Navy in June 1998 and underwent 10 months of training before being assigned to the USS Columbia. His assignment was overseeing electronic equipment associated with weapons such as missiles and torpedoes.

It was not immediately clear what happened in that case because that police record has been purged and the Moorhead Police chief did not respond to an email from NBC News seeking access to the arrest information.

One less Trump supporter. Trump’s base will never grow. Let’s hope eventually the numbers will dwindle. Events such as this should be concerning to all.

I really can’t fathom wanting to harm someone on anyone’s behalf. Especially an elected official. These people are obviously idol worshipers.

Do you realize that in October 2021, there were 18.0 million veterans in the United States? Many had security clearances, accumulated speeding tickets and support former President Trump. What is the writers point in identifying person as a veteran? NBC must be anti-military.

Trump’s devotees are made up mostly of haters and liars.

Seems to take so little to manipulate these tiny minds

Very representative of the typical trumpster

Be aware and afraid of all White middle aged men. White grievance is out of control.

Clearly, he had gone astray. Americans are supposed to be dedicated to their country, not a single individual.

Did someone say mental health screening ?
