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:
The man fled on foot after being approached by the officers, drew his weapon and opened fire, Quinn said.
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.
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.
Oh how cute, you believe the pig. Well isn’t that special.
Time travelers are starting to come back now and more. The fixed point in time is coming.
The National Mall is not “near” the White House.
it is if you want to build a narrative
I mean. Kinda is
“The National Mall” is anywhere between 2000 ft and 2 miles from the White House
If you run into an assain once, it’s probably has nothing to do with you…
But if an administration constantly running across assassins, maybe they’re doing something to attract them?
It’s almost as if people don’t like them… crazy 🤷♂️

~trump and his sycophants probably
The word near is doing some heavy lifting here. I don’t consider something over a mile away to be near me.
this had to be the 4th “assasination”, by trump. it isnt working, it actually make people focuse on your current issues more than not.
Isn’t this the same administration that mandated it to be legal to open carry in DC? Despite the municipal law saying otherwise?
