The suspect who attempted to breach an FBI office in Cincinnati was killed by law enforcement during an hours-long standoff, Ohio police announced Thursday afternoon.
The man was identified as Ricky Walter Shiffer, who was at the Capitol on Jan. 6, sources told CNN.
The suspect was shot and killed by officers after he raised his weapon at law enforcement after unsuccessful negotiation tactics, police said, according to NewsNation's Evan Lambert.
Northbound Interstate 71 was shut down after the suspect fired a nail gun at law enforcement, held up an AR-15-style rifle, and drove away from the FBI Cincinnati's visitor screening facility on Thursday, a local NBC affiliate reported.
