David Lee Huber, 55, is the alleged sniper in a shootout that left two FBI agents dead and three more wounded on Tuesday morning when police officers tried to comply with a warrant in a child crime case, an FBI official confirmed to Fox News Wednesday.
Huber, who lived in an apartment on the Water Terrace in Sunrise, Florida, did not have too many problems with the law.
He was cited for an inappropriate U-turn in 2016 while driving a Hyundai 2013. Before that, he was cited for speeding in 2001 while driving a 1997 Honda. Both traffic violations occurred in South Florida.

Huber divorced in 2016, according to records, at which point he entered into a joint paternity agreement with his ex-wife. It is not clear how many children he has.
His ex-wife was not immediately available for comment on Wednesday.
He was a computer consulting professional at one point, opening a business called “Computer Troubleshooters” in May 2004, according to the corporate transparency database Open Corporate. The company’s address was listed in Pembroke Pines, about 13 miles south of the Sunrise residence, where the shooting occurred on Tuesday.
Huber was also a pilot for a brief period, as he registered with the Federal Aviation Administration to fly commercial aircraft in May 1994.
He has no detectable presence on social media.
FBI AGENT FLÓRIDA KILLED EXPLORATION OF CHILDREN IN THE FIELD AND EDUCATED STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM
A law enforcement official told Fox News that Huber monitored the police when they approached his home at about 6 am ET on Tuesday, then opened fire on them through a closed door.
FBI special agents Daniel Alfin, 36, and Laura Schwartzenberger, 43, were killed. Two other FBI agents were shot and transported to a local hospital, one of which was released on Wednesday. Another FBI agent was shot, but his injuries were treated on the spot.
After the initial shooting, Huber barricaded himself in his apartment before killing himself two hours later, reports CBS Miami.
The warrant was described by the FBI as “a federal court-ordered search warrant for an investigation of violent crimes against children,” and both Schwartzenberger and Alfin specialize in crimes against children.
