“The FBI is reviewing an agent-involved shooting which occurred around 6:15 a.m. on Wednesday, August 9, 2023 in Provo, Utah. The incident began when special agents attempted to serve arrest and search warrants at a residence.

In accordance with FBI policy, the shooting incident is under review by the FBI’s Inspection Division.
