Three of the four people who apparently were hit by lightning near the White House on Thursday have died, Washington, D.C., police said in updates Friday.
James Mueller, 76, and Donna Mueller, 75, tourists to D.C. from Janesville, Wisconsin, were killed, police said Friday morning.
A 29-year-old man also died, police said later Friday. His name was not immediately released.
The Muellers were semi-retired high school sweethearts visiting D.C. for their 56th wedding anniversary, their niece told News4. James Mueller owned a drywall business, Donna Mueller was a teacher, and they had five children, 10 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. ..

Biden dodged a bullet on that one.
Near the White House? I didn’t think you could get within a mile of the White House. I think NBC news is just playing up the sympathy card.
That said, prayers for the Muellers.
The lightning struck the wrong people.
“apparent” lightning strike...
Would that be like an “apparent” tsunami?

“Near the White House? I didn’t think you could get within a mile of the White House.”
You need a new thinking cap!
I think Hannity or some Fox host played the video of it.
Creepy, a bolt of lightning struck within a couple hundred feet of the White House main entrance.
“That said, prayers for the Muellers.”
They are dead ...
Praying for the dead is one of the spiritual acts of mercy.
Yes. A sad story. If you are where they were, there’s no place to shelter during a lightning storm. The church the anarchists tried to burn down is there, but a fair walk for the elderly.
Please let them be mistaken and let it be Brandon, Suck Machine, and Nanzi
Agreed. They were just tourists visiting the Capitol. Very sad.
High School sweethearts. 56 years of marriage. Well there is one single not-terrible thing only-they went out together. Their family is in pain, but they didn’t have the pain of one going first, and one being left behind.
Bkmk
Believe it or not, I just read that global warming might have caused this.
I’ll choose “not” myself.
I will go with “not”.
How sad. Big trip to celebrate their 56th wedding anniversary. Probably so excited to be there. Prayers for the comfort of their children and grandchildren.
No one is guaranteed one more breath.
