Ken Dilanian @KenDilanianNBC 52mThe suspect who attacked the FBI field office in Cincinnati has been killed by law enforcement, according to two officials familiar with the matter. His name is Ricky Walter Shiffer. He was at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Reporting from @jonathan4ny and @ryanjreilly
Link to tweet
The suspect, identified by the officials as Ricky Shiffer, 42, seems to have appeared in a video posted on Facebook on Jan. 5, 2021, showing him attending a pro-Trump rally at Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington the night before the Capitol was stormed.
In May, a Twitter user named Ricky Shiffer replied to a photograph of rioters scaling the walls of the Capitol on Jan. 6 with a message that claimed he was present at the building and seemed to place the blame for the attack on people other than supporters of former President Donald J. Trump.

Also, the purpose of the nail gun was to pierce bulletproof glass in the FBI building.

Also not surprised they're playing the bullshit "it was a false flag" routine. These morons are so damn predictable.
