The FBI released a statement Monday providing an update on the status of the investigation into Robertson’s death: “The FBI continues to review an agent-involved shooting which occurred around 6:15 a.m. on Wednesday, August 9, 2023 in Provo, Utah. The incident began when special agents attempted to serve arrest and search warrants on 75-year-old Craig Deeleuw Robertson at his home for threats to elected officials and law enforcement officers.”

“Robertson resisted arrest and as agents attempted to take him into custody, he pointed a .357 revolver at them,” the bureau added. “The FBI takes all shooting incidents involving our agents or task force officers seriously. In accordance with FBI policy, the shooting incident is under review by the FBI’s Inspection Division.”
