WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The armed suspect who attempted to breach a US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) office in Cincinnati, Ohio, and was killed after a shootout with law enforcement officers, was a US Navy and Florida National Guard veteran, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Ricky Walter Shiffer Jr., 42, had been an enlisted sailor who served aboard the USS Columbia, and had also served as an infantryman in the Florida National Guard, the newspaper said on Friday citing the suspect's personnel records.
