A man was identified carrying a firearm inside the outer perimeter of the White House. The Secret Service engaged the person carrying the gun, who then fled on foot, turning and shooting back at Secret Service agents. The U.S. Secret Service returned fire hitting the gunman. A juvenile bystander was shot by one of the bullets, most likely fired by the suspect. Both the juvenile bystander and the gunman are receiving medical treatment.
Just before the gunman was identified, the motorcade of Vice President JD Vance drove through this immediate area. The shooting did not involve the Vice President’s security detail and an investigation is ongoing. The Secret Service gives a preliminary media briefing below.
.
Against the background of three assassination attempts, and with multiple Democrat activists, promoted social media influencers and leftist politicians increasingly calling for confrontation and violence against President Trump and his administration, the Secret Service is maintaining an elevated position of alert.
Take that one bullet in the shirt pocket and load the gun per barney fife method.

These people are completely unhinged. The left has gone bonkers.
The Left has activated their crazies. There is a culture of violence on Left, that can only be ended after it is recognized.
Yes the crazies have been prompted. Look at the airheaded morons who have made the attempts so far. Sooner or later someone who knows what they’re doing will make a better planned, detailed attempt. The USSS makes me nervous regarding their ability to protect PDT from a professional assassination attempt.
I might guess that POTUS is ruffling many different feathers across the world. That would increase the pressure from outside sources to do the dirty deed. Though the deed is attempted by TDS loonie lefties, the push+ funding can come from many sources. Beyond clowns in america and the loony left, the Mexican cartels, Iranians and their London masters, and Canada are all possible sources of influence to get the job done.
God bless POTUS and protect him and his family and all in his orbit. Keep him and his orbit safe to follow through on this difficult mission to rid the world of corruption and evil!
plain clothes individual that made the first contact.
there is a lesson here.
semper parattus
always prepared.
intelligently…blend in but head on a swivel looking actively for threats.
now you know.
God Bless America
It takes practice to be a gray man.
An invaluable skill, in being unassuming in plain sight, even better when combined with preparedness and situational awareness.
That and being an excellent shot with a handgun! JMO
does shooting children count? They are an AWFULLY small target.
Most likely the leftist shot the adolescent. They frequently hit bystanders in blue cities….
But the press must suppress.
Nothing must stop the blue terror system.
Where’s it stated SS shot the kid?
Get out!
WaPo is calling your name!
It doesn’t matter to the left. It just amplifies their agenda.
It takes a lot of practice to develop a fast and accurate “sight picture”!
So true. I see a lot of handguns with red dots on them. Haven’t done that yet but thinking about it.
🎯
I am constantly reminding my son to always be aware of his surroundings, especially when out in public with our granddaughters.
Yup, colleague met a bona fide Brit spy and said that only ten minutes after a one hour One to One meeting they struggled to remember anything about them. Said they were clumsy and dropped their teaspoon and briefing papers, which they found amusing, ‘nothing like James Bond’, until I told them it was a classic misdirection technique to focus away from their appearance.
Being a ‘civilian’ during undercover operations, is, I’m told, one of the hardest skills for professional law enforcement and military types to master, given their basic training and everyday ‘work’ experience.
Time to revoke fcc licenses.
It would also be nice to have the true identities of those on social media promoting this.
yes. i want to see some common sense speech control. if they can drag 2A through the mud, let’s pay it back with some 1A demagoguery.
Control is the reaction to fear!!! No control whatsoever on speech! Censorship is a sign of weakness! The fear of others knowing the complete picture!
You’d think the spanking the Dems took 18 months ago would’ve knocked them down several pegs, & while it did momentarily, they have now hypnotized themselves in believing they are in the majority, have the momentum & the wind at their backs. This is due to the AstroTurf media narratives & the loud & caustic minority voices who continue to be allowed to flood the airways projecting a false belief of superiority. They are still in the minority but we will finally need to place a stranglehold on these far left-wingers (Marxists, Socialists, Communists) once & for all.
This stupidity will only end (for Dems & RINO’s alike) if/when MAGA Nation brings the pain in November & we hammer home that this movement was not a fluke but a change they will have to contend with for the foreseeable future!
Yep, Republicans were partying pretty hard after 2024, back-slapping and all that siht. They really had the Dems on their back foot. Stupidity. These folks (The Left) are right up there with Iran’s IRGC–they are fanatics. They never accept defeat, they never apologize, they never back down. They double-down. It’s attack, attack, attack. Republicans in the Senate still don’t get it.
Oh the “get it” alright! Right in their big, fat wallets.
Uniparty GOP never will. There stupidity is as fake as it is intentional…
True that the Republicans were partying hard but the RINOs were meeting with their Democrat allies during the party time, setting up President Trump for assassination attempt after assassination attempt. Make no mistake, these RINOs are definitely agitated that their cash cows are being taken to slaughter before they can arrange for the prime cuts to be delivered to their banks!
Good, observe how Trump uses their centres of gravity and flips it to become his own. Fanatics never give in, meaning they are predictable, unlikely to listen to reason and trapped by their own rhetoric. They also carry with them the seeds of their own destruction, which is why there’s a barely concealed civil war breaking out between the old guard and the radical left. The former see the writing on the wall, the latter think they can shoulder charge it.
I don’t think the DemonCrats ever considered themselves “knocked down a peg.”
DemonCrats believe they are entitled to power because of their own moral superiority. They resent the hell out of having to campaign for votes. They rig elections to thwart the impudence of those “foolish” enough to stand in their way.
The only thing the 2024 election did was to strengthen their evil resolve to seize power by any means necessary.
This is not idle conjecture on my part. The DemonCrats are loud and proud about their intentions. They aren’t keeping it a secret. The mask is off.
They are two elections
away from establishing one-party rule here in America that will be an amalgamation of Communist China, Nazi Germany and Ayatollah-led theocracy in Iran.
And the eunuchs in the GOP are intentionally impotent as a possible defense.
Pray continually.
“Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”
Peace for those who love peace, and no peace for the wicked.
—So saith the Lord in Isaiah 48:22 and throughout the scriptures.
So let it be written, so let it be done!
Democrats and the leftist media are trying to incite useful idiots to assassination.
And by all we’ve seen, making a damn good job of it.
It is more than that if one follows the track to it’s final conclusion.
They want their (in)glorious revolution to safeguard their mobocracy forever from those they consider beneath them.
The Truth is not in them.
Reprobate minds, RF.
We are a permanently divided nation; and we are being given only a foretaste of what to expect should the midterms deliver the House, Senate or both into their hands.
I can’t allow myself to imagine…
Indeed.
A divided house cannot stand and will become all of one, or all of the other in the end. There will be no fence sitting.
I will do as I must in fulfilling my oaths before God in service to our Republic.
Always be ready. We must either hang together or we will most assuredly hang separately.
Just like the founders said. I am ready to stand up. But I can’t do it alone.
🙏
No matter what others choose to do, a single person who has accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior is never alone.
With God, we have the power of a thousand armies, times infinite.
Proverbs 29:25 states, “The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.”
Stop the black pilling.
Betsy is not “black pilling.”
If you would read her posts you would discover that Betsy Jones is a faithful servant of Jesus Christ, saved through faith in His death and resurrection.
Betsy reminds me of my parents, both of whom have faithfully followed and served their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ their whole lives. Even now, in their 90’s, in the face of significant health issues these past 6 years, they remain faithful.
We are truly two elections away from full blown totalitarianism, operating with unbridled naked aggression against We The People.
It is not “black pilling” to state the truth.
Praying continually as we “walk through the valley of the shadow of death” is a profound act of faith.
“The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.”
Amen!
True, yet in their reprobate minds they are the ones traveling the moral high ground. That’s just how out of touch and out of their collective minds they truly are!
A trick perfected by California Democrats in the ’60s:
Lefty activist Tom Hayden asked the Black Panthers how to achieve more aggressive direct action tactics, causing a Panther to reply:
“Just like you, Tom, get (someone else) to pull the trigger”.
I will state that the shooter was not a MAGA member!
Does this dirt bag always rant about President Trump when he plays and sings “Hey Joe”?
@ 2:40 Secret Service:
Hey Steve Earle, where are you going with that guitar in your hand?
Democrats, both those in Congress and the media, own this. They have ratcheted up the political temperature to such a degree that if conservatives, clinging to their guns (as they say), were the boogeymen the Left often paints them as in their projection, we’d be in a hot civil war by now, which the Left would be losing.
Sick and angry people are determined to grab the tillers of political discourse and before this crosses a point of no return, we have to wrest the narrative from their hands.
J
Democrats have collectively decided that it’s better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven–it really is that simple.
And lost. Would t take very long at all
the most important thing trump can do, right now, as the empire spins out of control, is ensure we have as much of our gun rights back as possible. i no longer believe 1A is going to save the republic.
refuse to enforce the NFA. defund and kill the ATF and their illegal registries. give me my suppressors and SBRs back. i want full auto. i demand to sell to whomever i damn well choose to sell to, privately. i will build and print whatever i please.
go the opposite direction they want you to go, mr president.
NRA reps were in Congress the night FOPA was voted on in 1986. FOPA originally put only suppressor under NFA control, not MG’s.
During debates, Democrat replaced “suppressors” with “machine guns”.
NRA signed off on it, saying, ‘We’ll get mg’s removed later. ”
And so, a $4,000 M60 E1 in 1985 is now $85,000 in 2026, and a $1,200 UZI is now $18,000.
1 Kings 3:16-28 (NIV)
A Wise Ruling
16 Now two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him. 17 One of them said, “Pardon me, my lord. This woman and I live in the same house, and I had a baby while she was there with me. 18 The third day after my child was born, this woman also had a baby. We were alone; there was no one in the house but the two of us.
19 “During the night this woman’s son died because she lay on him. 20 So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while I your servant was asleep. She put him by her breast and put her dead son by my breast. 21 The next morning, I got up to nurse my son—and he was dead! But when I looked at him closely in the morning light, I saw that it wasn’t the son I had borne.”
22 The other woman said, “No! The living one is my son; the dead one is yours.”
But the first one insisted, “No! The dead one is yours; the living one is mine.” And so they argued before the king.
23 The king said, “This one says, ‘My son is alive and your son is dead,’ while that one says, ‘No! Your son is dead and mine is alive.’”
24 Then the king said, “Bring me a sword.” So they brought a sword for the king. 25 He then gave an order: “Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other.”
26 The woman whose son was alive was deeply moved out of love for her son and said to the king, “Please, my lord, give her the living baby! Don’t kill him!”
But the other said, “Neither I nor you shall have him. Cut him in two!”
27 Then the king gave his ruling: “Give the living baby to the first woman. Do not kill him; she is his mother.”
28 When all Israel heard the verdict the king had given, they held the king in awe, because they saw that he had wisdom from God to administer justice.
Those were the days of justice before we entered the two-tier system of just-us.
It is funny how the Bible prattles on about God’s gift of Wisdom to Solomon, but describes a man who can’t keep it in his pants, permits his hundreds of wives and concubines to worship whatever they please, and who lets the kingdom fall apart at his death.
Money does that to people. He did come to his senses though. Love the Lord they God. That is all that matters.
The Bible doesn’t prattle–that’s what Democrats and dumb CTH posters do–but it does provide a narrative of what happens in real life. David also did a bunch of dumb stuff, and everybody else too. Humans just do dumb stuff–that is, all have sinned–but the Judeo-Christian tradition says that we must keep striving to do better because, what else can we do?
[Shamelessly stolen from Greg Gutfeld:] “It’s harder to get into Paris Hilton than the D.C. Hilton.”
Imagine if a team of well-trained Special Forces enemies had crashed the WHCD — and the potential subsequent carnage done.
I don’t call it the Secret Cervix for nothing, and Director Curran (frankly, another horrible pick by President Trump) has got to go. They’re still playing by the #Woke DEI Playbook over there. WHO HAS BEEN PUNISHED THUS FAR FOR ALL THE SCREWUPS and SECURITY FAILURES? /rhetorical
I’m praying the juvenile makes a full recovery and the officers involved are not affected mentally or physically by this incident. I’m not a good enough person to pray for the perp or the liberal/progressive lunatics who encourage and support this madness.
Turning the other cheek has limits.
A very careful reading of ‘turning the other cheek’, has to do with insult(s), NOT death threats. YHWH, fully expects HIS people to defend their life to the fullest when threaten with death.
Why else would he have instructed his followers to sell their cloak and buy a sword if they did not own one but for self defense?
Why else would he have told Peter to put the sword away and healed Peter’s victim there in Gethsemane?
He even paraphrased a lesson from a Greek play that was already hundreds of years old.
If you live by the sword, you will die by the sword.
You know that was when the guards came to arrest Jesus right?
Peter was interfering with the arrest and what was preordained to be, the trial and crucification of a man who committed no crime.
Thank you!
Exactly. Self defense is practicing the commandment Thou shall not kill (i.e. commut murder), because allowing someone to kill you is assisting the killer to violate the commandment.
Isn’t being struck on the cheek physical violence?
And letting the violence happen again, how is that defending yourself?
It is definitely not about responding to insults. But, you are right that it is not about deathly violence either.
After all. You can still respond.
Too many coincidences. When the inevitable happens and someone from the Trump administration is murdered, will those who incite and congratulate the murderer(s), be brought to justice?
No. They will be flown to China where Congressional Democrats will go on a junket to celebrate their accomplishment while the MSM applauds.
Maybe not congratulate, just apologies to them for the harsh treatment they received when they were subdued & the poor conditions of their incarceration.
What is that famous line spoken by Sean Connery in The Untouchables?
Will that fat girl agent be on alert for her twinkie?
They need to fire every single secret service agent, and start over.
Be careful what you type.
Could it be that some sacrificial lambs are penetrating security so as to others can gather data about security?
( for something else? )
I do not know
Scouts motto:

Could we please just return to merit for these most important jobs and details?
Move the DEI folk elsewhere where they won’t do as much mayhem.
So, the SS, in the last two incidents, missed the perps and shot a kid and their own agent? They also missed the guy in the bushes at the golf course.
They claim the running guy with the shotgun shot the agent.
That agent was the only one to pull his gun as the runner approached. So he shot that agent.
The agent on the other hand did the rest of the shooting. At a man running past other agents.
He must have had great control to only shoot when there were no agents in his line of sight.
But do they train to hit running targets? Especislly at point blank range? Very hard to track someone running past so very close.
The bad guy shot the youth.
Why can’t the SS shoot better? Put the clown down. Then you won’t have crazy judges letting him free.
street cam vieos….
Asked.my wife if she’d heard about this incident.
No I haven’t.
I said that’s why you don’t get breaking news from any MS outlet.
My #1 is right here.
Thank you Sundance and crew!
The Secret Service has now shot a bystander. In one instance they shot themselves. In two other instances at close range they hit nothing when the President was at risk. They did shoot an intruder when the President wasn’t in danger. At Butler they allowed a fairly close rifle shot that was interrupted by some local policemen looking up on the roof that the sniper occupied. There was no counter sniper covering that rooftop and the sniper made a long adjustment where a lot of rounds went in the President’s direction. The video at the WHCD showed distracted agents with no focus, officers taking down equipment while the event was just getting started. An incurious canine officer with what looks like a much more competent dog. When the incident began officers found themselves in the line of fire which probably affected marksmanship. That organization is sick and is in need of reform. The current director reminds me of the previous incompetent director.
The bad guy shot the youth.
The Officer speaking so much remind me of Nathan Bargatze. Same facial expressions, eyes, mannerism. I find myself expecting to laugh, especially at the stupid questions from the press, asking 12 angles for the same questions.
He was very professional, and I suspect he squelched his own humorous urges in answering the questions.
Five shots, five misses at a guy with a gun, at very close range, but, they hit a child?
Those dopes probably couldn’t get hired at Ross, yet, here they are guarding the most powerful person in the world!
Maybe sharpshooting isn’t on the training schedule any more because it’s racist or sexist or some other BS reason.
You ever been in a gunfight?
If not then you’re not fully qualified to criticize.
Okay, Corral.
The bad guy shot the youth.
The media isn’t anti-Trump and spewing out hate for him because they don’t like his policies but because it is a front for global communism.
BINGO!
If only we had a few teams of super elite ex-Navy Seals who could do black ops and ‘Take out some trash’
What if we had a a beautiful tropical island that all the major globalists, the committee of 300, soros and family, all the Rothschilds, all the Rockefellers, et al could be relocated to and enjoy living in paradise without any outside communication for the rest of their lives.
What if…
“Imagine all the people ……….”
Gosh, how could that happen in such a gun restricted zone/s
HA!
Maybe turnabout is fair play… if the Democrat activists, promoted social media influencers and leftist politicians increasingly calling for confrontation and violence against President Trump and his administration are put in the same position by our side calling for the same against all of them and a few people are shot at on the left, then they would stop.
Of course the left would scream, “See! We told you the followers of Trump are dangerous!”
What to do…
Maybe Assis. AG Blanche can get after the above mentioned commies and start prosecuting those who are calling for violence. If a few of them are put behind bars for five years, the left would stop their violent rhetoric lest they end up in prison.
Despite the ‘elevated position of alert’, what kind of security detail allows a gunman to get INSIDE an ‘outer perimeter’. There is something truly amiss with the level of security that the Secret Service provide.
When does Judge Faruqui apologize to this gunman for receiving return fire?
I can’t help but notice that “not the best” agents are posted at an event President Trump is attending.
Three out of three is too much of a coincidence not to be on purpose.
Quick tell: was perp from out of town.
He took a nice, leisurely all-expenses-paid train ride from California, because he didn’t want to travel by car.
tel.
USSS actually fired and HIT A SUSPECT…
Shocking…in past attempts…as my Dad would say…they couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn…
I certainly hope all SS are fully weapons qualified, maybe qualified by a “few good men” not some DEI, whatever pronoun person.
I thought calls for violence is illegal and punishable… no?
I mean, some people have been sent to jail for manipulating other adults into sexual acts through some cult..
This isn’t manipulating for some sexual acts.. it’s manipulating and inciting murder. Where is the law? DOJ? FBI?
As far as I am concerned, the entire Secret Service needs an immediate overhaul. We should hire only people who love our Country enough to do a functionally non-political and dangerous job for our country. Our President is the only Federal Government worker who is elected by all of the people, so that the Party he used to get the job is of no relevance to how he does his job. We can fire him after only 4 years and he is always terminated after 8 years in order to let us choose our own President at least that often.
What we have right now is a bunch of left leaning DEI hires from the Obama administration. Obama apparently decided he needed to be protected by fellow Communists and used his great racist DEI program to hire mostly just that. It is time to take the hiring process for Secret Service officers away from the President and or his staff. This should be apparent and should never have to even be discussed in the future. Only Patriots, who support our way of life regardless of who is in power, should be considered for such a job.
The Secret Service is so bad that no President or Vice President can ever depend on them to know the importance of their own job.
