On June 28, 1981, Morris Edwin Roberts, Jr. gained access to FBI space at the Federal Office Building in Atlanta, Georgia, by threatening a General Services Administration (GSA) guard with a 9mm submachine gun. Roberts, heavily armed, held nine FBI support employees and one GSA guard hostage for three hours before he was shot and killed by members of the FBI Swat Team and the Atlanta Police Department. Only two hostages received superficial wounds as a result of this incident. No motive was ever established.
