An armed man carrying an AR-15 style rifle stormed into the FBI Field office in Cincinnati, Ohio, fired a nail gun inside then fled leading police on a high speed chase that involved shots fired, according to reports.
The FBI Cincinnati said they chased the suspect about 60 miles northwest before the pursuit ended in a standoff.
Clinton Co. Emergency Management Agency alerted that Interstate 71 was closed in both directions between about five exits.
“Law enforcement has traded shots with a male suspect who is wearing a gray shirt and body armor,” the agency said in a statement, warning people nearby to stay inside and lock their doors.
The FBI Cincinnati made the announcement on Thursday that an armed man attempted to breach the Visitor Screening Facility then posted that the ‘Ohio State Highway Patrol, and local law enforcement partners are on scene near Wilmington, OH trying to resolve this critical incident.’
