The man fatally shot by police in Ohio Thursday after trying to breach the FBI’s Cincinnati field office may have taken part in the Capitol attack, according to law enforcement sources. The sources, who identified the suspect to the AP and other outlets as 42-year-old Ricky Shiffer, say he may have had links to extremist groups that took part in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack, including the Proud Boys. A Twitter user named Ricky Shiffer commented on a photo of Capitol rioters in May, saying he was present at the building, the New York Times reports.
