Veteran Fires at Federal Building | Albany News

An Army veteran with ties to the Hudson Valley allegedly unleashed a terrifying attack outside a Manhattan federal building, setting off fireworks, igniting a fire, and firing a pellet gun—all while brandishing a sign that read “ICE Off Our Streets.” Authorities label him an “anti-American, anti-government extremist,” and the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating. The suspect, armed with axes and knives, injured three people, including government workers, before being taken into custody. Though no charges have been filed yet, officials call the act deeply disturbing—relieved no one was killed, but horrified by the violence directed at a building housing immigration courts and the FBI.
