WASHINGTON — The U.S. Secret Service fatally shot a person who opened fire on officers at a security checkpoint on Saturday in an exchange of gunfire that briefly locked down the White House, officials said.
The shooting happened shortly after 6 p.m. when a male approached the Secret Service checkpoint at 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, pulled a gun from a bag and opened fire on officers, the Secret Service said in a statement.
The officers returned fire and shot the suspect, who was taken to a hospital, where he later died, the Secret Service said. The agency said the shooting remains under investigation.
A bystander was also shot, the Secret Service said, but it was unclear who fired the round that injured that person. Their condition was not immediately available.

Hah. The DailyMail would have written "Secret Service shoots man dead who opened fire at White House...", whereas in America we just know that "kill" is sufficient to indicate successful gun use.
Wow. A Democrat saying he’s going to fight Democrats.
This ought to be good.
He believed he was Jesus Christ, sources tell NYP.
Sounds like a Cpl Max Klinger alibi.
Agreed!
Maybe...once they saw he wasn't going to suucceed. They didn't want him talking????
Sorry, but much as I don't like conspiracy theories, I am getting pretty sick of these SS failures!
Now, watch THIS story disappear, too 😡😡😡😡

Multiple FReepers saddened by the news.
If you play Bang Bang it better not be with someone else who does.
Their corrupt press will drop this story as soon as they can - they don't want to 'answer' for anything.
Why are the Democrats so eager to make J.D. Vance President?
