The FBI has reported that an individual drove a car into their Atlanta office’s front gate on Monday, but they are currently unaware of the motive behind the act.
The crash happened just after lunchtime. Pete Ellis, a manager at the FBI’s office in Atlanta, said that a man tried to get onto the FBI campus in Chamblee by following another vehicle through the gate, but security stopped him from entering. Some police officers arrested the man as they were nearby, and nobody got hurt, Ellis said.
Ellis said a man, who was not part of the FBI place, was taken to a hospital in Atlanta to be checked.
The police are investigating crimes at both the state and federal level.
Agents and bomb experts looked at the vehicle to make sure it was safe, as required by the agency’s rules.
A video showed a red-orange SUV with a smashed hood against a gate in the front. The tow truck took the car at almost 4 p. m
Ellis said they are still looking into the case and don’t have any more details to share yet.
