A man was shot and killed by the FBI on Tuesday after plotting to blow up a hospital in frustration to government's response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Timothy Wilson, 36, was shot after the FBI attempted to serve him a warrant in Belton, Missouri. Wilson was rushed to a nearby hospital when he died from his injuries.
The FBI had been tracking Wilson for months after they pinpointed him as a potentially violent extremist, driven by racial animus, religious zealotry, and distrust of the government.
Wilson had planned on using the 'vehicle-borne' explosive mechanism to blow up a hospital near Kansas City.
He purposely targeted a hospital treating people suffering from coronavirus to inflict 'severe harm and mass casualties.'
The FBI says Wilson was armed when they attempted to arrest him. At the time, he was picking up what he thought was a truck bomb but wasn't actually a bomb.
According to the agency statement, Wilson grew frustrated with federal government efforts to slow coronavirus and 'decided to accelerate his plan to use a vehicle-born improvised explosive device in an attempt to cause severe harm and mass casualties.'
As of Wednesday March 25, 2.30pm central time, Missouri had 356 cases of coronavirus and eight deaths from the virus, according to the Missouri Health Department.
Kansas City currently has a 'stay at home' order in place to curb the spread of coronavirus.
