How do you feel about armed man shot by Secret Service around White House?

An armed man believed to be traveling from Indiana was shot by U. S. Secret Service agents near the White House after a confrontation early Sunday, according to authorities.

“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.”

Looks like they were paying more attention than they did in Butler.

We don't know any details about what happened and it is far too soon to rush to judgment.

I don't care one bit about the guy who, instead of cooperating, decided to pull a gun on Secret Service agents who are armed for good reason.
I'm not opposed to gun ownership or even carrying a firearm, but that comes with responsibilities. The guy was obviously irresponsible. He committed suicide by cop.

At least he didn't get a chance to harm anyone.

Trump really has a target on his back. He is killing the cash cow for so many different groups it is hard to keep them all straight. DEI scam artists, defense contractors, pharmaceutical companies, Ukraine, Hamas, and government employees. So many groups would love to see him dead they probably have to take a number. The same with Elon Musk.

Yes the caper crusader & his sidekick!!

Not surprised as it happened in America, there people think they're entitled to kill anybody because they want to...

If the article is true and correct. Apparently he didn’t get the memo that there was a New Sheriff in town!
Around the Capital Complex is not the place for brandishing a firearm!

[DrPepper12]

Or as we call it in the USA... Everyday gun violence

Serves him right. Of course, they always turn out to be conservatives… good riddance

[TamYumGung]

Hopefully he learned his lesson.
