The hours-long standoff between Capitol Hill police and a man claiming he had an explosive device in his truck parked outside the Library of Congress ended without incident Thursday, when the suspect surrendered himself to authorities in the early afternoon.
The man, identified as Floyd Ray Roseberry, had initially streamed his bomb threat on Facebook Live before the platform blocked the broadcast. At various points during his stream, Roseberry directly addressed President Biden, claiming at one point "When the patriots come, your ass is in trouble," and later saying "the revolution is on." According to extremist researcher Emily Gorcenski, Roseberry's Facebook account had liked a number of right-wing subjects, including a "White Lives Matter" page and that of the Southern Poverty Law Center-identified anti-immigrant hate group FAIR.
