Hours before President Biden was scheduled to speak in Salt Lake City on Wednesday, a man was killed in a shooting involving F.B.I. agents in Provo, Utah.
The F.B.I. did not name the man, but court documents indicate that a Provo man was facing charges for death threats he had made against President Biden and Alvin L. Bragg, the Manhattan district attorney.
The F.B.I. said in a statement on Wednesday afternoon that it was investigating an “agent-involved shooting” that had happened around 6:15 a.m. in Provo while special agents were trying to serve arrest and search warrants at a home.
A White House official said that Mr. Biden had been briefed on the matter on Wednesday.
Court documents show that the Provo man was facing one count of interstate threats, one count of threats against the president and another count of influencing, impeding and retaliating against federal law enforcement officers by threat, according to a felony complaint filed on Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City.
