Two National Guard soldiers shot in ambush-style attack as horrific shoot-out sparks lockdown at White House

Two National Guard soldiers have been shot in an ambush-style attack just 800 yards from the White House, sparking a lockdown at the president's residence.

The suspected gunman is in custody and two soldiers are in critical condition after a shoot-out at Farragut West metro station in the center of Washington, DC. The suspect was also wounded.

Donald Trump vowed that 'the animal' who shot the troops 'will pay a very steep price.'

FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed that two soldiers are being treated at a local hospital after West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey earlier sparked confusion by announcing the soldiers were dead before walking back his statement.

Graphic images from the scene showed a soldier lying injured on the pavement with blood pouring from his head as a Secret Service agent gave him medical attention.

An unidentified trooper was seen on a stretcher inside an ambulance receiving medical attention at the scene of the shooting.

The FBI, ATF and Secret Service swarmed on the scene as a helicopter landed on the National Mall to evacuate one of the wounded National Guardsmen.

Trump has deployed 2,300 National Guard troops into DC since August as part of his promise to crack down on rampant crime in the nation's capital.

Oh, and did I mention that during the Jan6 stand down the FBi was actively investigating and screening Trump voters as part of that stand down order?

Those shooting national guardsmen are part of this purge they tried back then and now are trying to intimidate with these so called lone actors

They are not isolated individuals, Trump is wrong on that

to be honest, Trump is the opposite of paranoia in this case

i would be on edge and cleaning further house

I saw a reliable source say that both National Guardsmen had died.

May the perp be found and sent straight to hell.

If so, I, like most freepers, look forward to the day where the shooter can be forgiven and stand proudly with Donald Trump in the White House.

He entered the country in 2021. Probably one of the unvetted Afghanis Joe let into the country, after turning Afghanistan back over to the Taliban.
Oh yeah—and he abandoned 80B+ in aircraft, crew-served weapons, vehicles, small arms, ordnance of all kinds.
Even K-9s.
Still can’t believe he wasn’t impeached and removed for the worst, most shameful military debacle in American history.

>Hey jack! The auto-pen signed off on everything.

He was welcomed into our country in 2021 under a program called ‘Operation Allies Welcome’ run by Director of Homeland Security Mayorkas.
This Mo is reputed to have yelled Allahu ackbar as he pulled the trigger.
Another gift that keeps on giving from Joe.
How many more of these friends of democrats are there running around loose ... what?

Oops. A federal district court judge (Biden-appointed) just ordered me to stop saying negative things about immigrants.

It is interesting that no one ever hears a word from Slo Joe.

Wonder if eventually he will leave the country so he will not be held accountable for what he did to the nation and how much he stole from the nation?
