An armed man was shot by US Secret Service (USSS) agents in downtown Washington on Monday, officials said, prompting a brief lockdown of the nearby White House. The shooting near the National Mall occurred shortly after a motorcade carrying Vice President JD Vance had passed by the area, USSS Deputy Director Matthew Quinn said. Quinn told reporters he did not believe that the vice president was an intended target and said he could not speculate if it was related to recent attempts on the life of President Donald Trump. “I’m not going to guess on that,” he said. “Whether or not it was directed to the president or not, I don’t know, but we will find out.” Quinn said the shooting took place after Secret Service agents identified a “suspicious individual,” who appeared to have a firearm.
Very important detail from the article:
That’s the reason why the Secret Service shot him. Although it’s still unclear what made him “suspicious” for officers to approach him.
I mean, that seems like a good reason, but its being given to you by the same people that said that Alex Pretti drew a gun and attacked ICE agents and Renee Goode tried to run over someone with her car.
If the statement is true then it makes sense. But I see no reason to believe that it is true until someone who isn’t part of this administration corroborates it.
You really can’t take anything they say at face value.
Yeah, I’d say being approached by officers is a good reason to open fire in the modern U.S.
I wonder if that detail is true, or yet another lie from the Trump administration.
You can always tell when the admin is lying, because their mouth is moving.
the only time they tell the truth is when karoline leavitt doesnt wear a large cross.
I don’t know how that thing hasn’t burned a hole right through her.
From the guys that brought you “the iran war is over” and “alex pretti drew a gun”
What Iran war? It’s not a war. Also, it’s insubordination to say the US is losing the war that they’re not having.
We have always been at not-war with Eureast Asia.
He’s alike so we get to hear his side
Oh how cute, you believe the pig. Well isn’t that special.
