Authorities in Ohio were locked in a standoff Thursday with an armed man who made threats against the FBI building in Cincinnati, sparking a chase and shootout.
The incident began after the gunman “attempted to breach the Visitor Screening Facility” at around 9 a.m., the FBI’s Cincinnati office confirmed, adding that the suspect fled north “after an alarm and a response by FBI special agents.”
NBC News, citing two sources, reported that the man fired a nail gun toward FBI personnel at the agency building and flashed an AR-15 style rifle before fleeing.
