It also does not establish whether anyone was injured, whether the man was arrested or whether criminal charges were filed. Those details should be confirmed through an FBI announcement or a court record before being reported as fact.

What to watch

  • Any federal court filing or criminal charge.
  • Whether officials provide details about what happened after the man arrived.
