Suspect dies after firing upon agents at White House checkpoint, Secret Service says, with a bystander also injured
A gunman has been shot dead after approaching a White House security checkpoint and firing at officers, federal officials have said.
The White House, where Donald Trump was present, was briefly locked down on Saturday as the sound of a sustained volley of gunshots rang out, sending journalists in the area running for cover.
During the shooting, a bystander was also shot. The Secret Service said: “It remains unclear whether the bystander was struck by the suspect’s initial gunfire or during the subsequent exchange of gunfire.”
What a world we live in where a street near the white house is as dangerous as a kindergarten classroom.
But trumpty dumpty told us DC was so safe you could walk down the street with your “lover”. Did he lie???
I wouldn’t let my children anywhere near the White House. Do you know how many pedophiles live there?
At LEAST 3
Don, Jr. and Eric?
Or the administration is doing some more theatrics. If no real incident comes to light, I call total bullshit.
Reports of two gunshot victims in the hospital. One may be the suspect. The other may be a bystander; hope they’re going to be OK.
Just saw another article, says secret service shot someone they claim attacked them. Theater
The bystander is a shame though. Expected with the quality of swine we give badges to in this country.
In any sane country they’d both be equally dangerous (i.e. completely safe) too.
