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.”
There’s also the line of thought that if there was a real scenario, it’s the end result of their own gun policies. if their morality had any consistency, they would be quietly celebrating it like they do mass shootings.
