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.”
I can’t believe we’re on the timeline where the white house goes on lockdown and no one really cares because the administration has the credibility of the boy who cried wolf. The stupidest part is that this is their own doing.
This all could have been avoided if I had my $2billion golden ballroom goddamn it! 🫲🍊🫱
I counted twenty six. None of them close, of course.
