What did Ricky Walter Shiffer do? Armed man killed in police standoff after attempted Ohio FBI office breach

On Thursday, Aug. 11, the FBI and the Ohio Highway State Patrol said Ricky Walter Shiffer, the man charged with breaking and entering an FBI office in Cincinnati, had been shot and killed in a Clinton County cornfield.

Shiffer attempted to break into the FBI’s field office on Thursday. He shot at police officers with a nail gun and showed them a rifle before running away.

Multiple sources say Shiffer supported the January 6 attack on the US Capitol complex and said he was involved, but he was never arrested for any crime related to it.

Shiffer is said to have criticized the FBI raid on Trump’s home and posted several calls to action on Trump’s social media platform Truth Social before the incident on Thursday.

Ricky Shiffer, who was killed trying to break into an FBI office while armed and wearing body armor, had the most active Truth Social account I’ve ever seen. In his two most recent non-reply posts:
