tonight. a bulletin from the fbi and department of homeland security warns of a surge in threats and calls for violence against federal law enforcement officers and government personnel. according to nbc s kelly o donnell, the bulletin includes the following passages. these threats are occurring across multiple platforms online, including social media sites, web forums the fbi warned that it has seen personal identifying information for possible targets of violence, like home addresses and identification of family members as additional targets. horrific stuff. earlier today, a man died by suicide after driving a car into a barrier outside of the u.s. capitol building. the individual got out of the car, and as officers approached fired shots into the air before ultimately shooting himself. this all comes on the heels of the cincinnati fbi field office attack on thursday, carried out by a former january 6th insurrectionists, who seems to be incited by the maga cult response t
