FBI agents on Wednesday shot and killed an armed man at an Oklahoma state park, who was wanted in connection with the bombing of a Florida mosque in May of 2010, the TV station News 9 reported.
Authorities identified the man as Sandlin Matthew Smith, 46, of St. John’s County, Fla.
FBI agents had tracked Smith down at a state park near Fairview, Ok., around 1:30 p.m., the station reported.
When agents confronted him, he brandished a gun and he was shot and killed, the FBI said, according to the station. Conflicting news reports made it difficult to determine whether the suspect actually fired his gun.
Smith was suspected of setting off a pipe bomb at the Islamic Center of Northeast Florida last year during prayer services. It caused minor damage, but no one was injured.
