Authorities: Armed man shot by Secret Service near White House while Trump out of town
An armed man believed to be traveling from Indiana was shot near the White House by U.S. Secret Service agents after a confrontation early Sunday.
From the little that seems to be available at the time of this comment, it feels like someone confused and disturbed, not like a properly planned-out-attempt at anything.
The Secret Service received information from local police about an alleged “suicidal individual” who was traveling from Indiana and found the man’s car and a person matching his description nearby.
“As officers approached, the individual brandished a firearm and an armed confrontation ensued, during which shots were fired by our personnel,” the Secret Service said in a statement.
The man was hospitalized. The Secret Service said his condition was “unknown.”
Oh, please, oh please, I hope it won't be (succesfully) used for even more repression.
They were already going to do it. Of course they will use it to justify it.
Yupp, that's why I added (succesfully) to my plea. Unfortunately, I think you are very right.
