ATLANTA — A man is in custody after he allegedly rammed into a barrier at the FBI's Atlanta field office, an official said. The incident happened just after noon on Monday when the driver of a Buick Encore with South Carolina license plates tried to follow an employee's car through a gated entrance, FBI officials said.
Ellis said the man was taken to a hospital for evaluation. Motive for the incident is not yet clear, the FBI said. Officials are considering filing state and federal charges. Ellis said agents are subjected to ongoing training to prepare for such a scenario and had trained on the topic recently. Pop-up wedge barriers are widely deployed at federal facilities such as military bases and FBI offices.
