The gunman was identified as Ricky Shiffer, 42, a spokesperson for the Ohio State Patrol confirmed to The Daily Beast on Thursday evening. Public records for Shiffer show he lived in Columbus. Shiffer appeared to feature in a video posted to Facebook on Jan. 5, 2021, of him at a pro-Trump rally in D.C. the night before the Capitol was overrun, The New York Times reported. Two law enforcement sources cited by the Times said investigators were looking at Shiffer’s links to extremist groups involved in the riot. A Twitter account in Shiffer’s name follows just two people—one of which is Donald Trump Jr.—and posted a reply to a tweet in May that claimed he was at the Jan. 6 insurrection. “I was there. We watched as your goons did that,” he wrote, seemingly implying that Trump foes were responsible for the carnage. “When I told the ones trying to break back in that Trump tweeted be peaceful, one of them said, ‘Fuck Trump.’” In another tweet, he name-checked the Proud Boys, a right-wing extremist group accused of conspiring to storm the Capitol. FBI Cincinnati said in a statement Thursday that an “armed subject attempted to breach the Visitor Screening Facility” at the office at about 9 a.m. “After an alarm and a response by FBI special agents, the subject fled north onto Interstate 71,” the statement said. Agents and state troopers gave chase as the man fled. The man fired a nail gun at personnel inside the FBI building, NBC reported, before holding up an “AR-15 style rifle” as he fled. Authorities say Shiffer then fled over 40 miles northeast with state troopers giving chase. As he fled, authorities say gunfire was exchanged between officers and the suspect, who took cover in a cornfield for more than five hours. While the standoff is over, authorities have not said whether the gunman was arrested or killed. The announcement to lift all lockdown recommendations came at 4:25 p.m. from Clinton County Emergency Management. As cops chased the gunman through the rural community of Wilmington, the county’s emergency management agency told residents within a one-mile radius to stay inside, lock their doors, and “remain vigilant.” The gunman was described as armed, wearing a gray shirt and body armor. Interstate 71—an important artery that connects Cincinnati to the state’s capital, Columbus—where Shiffer lived—was closed for several hours before being reopened around 2:30 p.m. as local authorities confirmed the gunman was “contained,” despite not being arrested. Ohio State Patrol said that the gunman was surrounded in the cornfield, adding that no officers had been injured. It’s unclear if the suspect had been struck by cops’ return fire during the chase. Further details about the threat and ensuing chase have not been released. There has been an increased threat level for federal agents after the FBI searched former President Donald Trump’s Florida retreat, Mar-a-Lago, on Monday, which prompted calls to “defund the FBI” from Republican members of Congress. Others on the far right, however, have called for something far more sinister—a “civil war.” Authorities had not released a potential motive for the gunman’s attempted breach of the field office.
I just thank goodness I do not live in the inner city of Detroit, Chicago or hell any big city in the USA since they are all messed up now. That would suck balls.
