Have to pay attention to the absence of evidence. Whether its police or FBI, if they don't immediately come out and say they were shot at, you can pretty safely assume they weren't shot at.
Going back to examples like the US marshals killing the antifa terrorist michael reinoehl in 2020, the aftermath was a bunch of differing accounts as the investigators pieced together the shootout scene and the commies tried to lie about it- but the marshals immediately said he had pulled a gun on them. In the amir locke case, the early statements by the MPD said that their swat team "encountered a man holding a handgun pointed "n the direction of officers." Which of course didn't really describe how they burst in unannounced and guns drawn on a guy asleep in a bed and startled him awake and immediately shot him
dunno what the story is here, but 75 year old disabled morbidly obese wacko with possible indicators of FBI having a vendetta against him, that's some reason for skepticism
we don't even know if this was a no knock warrant for sure, I don't know how that's handled with FBI jurisdiction but I think normal warrants have to be served in daylight as a policy and this raid was at 6 AM with full SWAT, so my presumption is they definitely created the circumstances that would get this guy killed
Breonna Taylor, say her name!
but hey, i bet she also made public threats against the president of the united states, then was visited for an interview by the FBI, and told them to come back with a warrant, and that she'd be ready with loaded guns.
rip in pee old man. one less whacko. hopefully he had no family so his guns can be auctioned off or melted down.
