A police standoff continues in Clinton County off I-71 at State Route 73. The FBI, Ohio State Highway Patrol, and local law enforcement are trying to apprehend a man wanted for reportedly threatening FBI agents at their headquarters in Cincinnati.
The man appears to have been wounded in a shootout with police after a high speed chase up I-71 ended at the Wilmington exit.
Police negotiators are trying to convince the suspect to surrender and a medical helicopter is standing by to take him to the hospital.
Everyone who lives within a mile of the standoff scene on SR-73 near OH-380 are being asked to lock their doors and shelter in place.
This all happening as the Director of the FBI says he is concerned about threats against his agents following the agency's raid on the Florida home of former President Donald Trump. There's no word yet on whether that FBI raid is a motivating factor in this situation.
