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.
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
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.
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.
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…
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.

Democrats have collectively decided that it’s better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven–it really is that simple.
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.
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.
[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.
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?
