Trump Admin Official Shot In DC, In Critical Condition After Carjacking Rampage
Daily Wire ^ | 1-30-24 | Luke Rosiak

An accomplished Republican professional who served as chief operating officer of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) during the Donald Trump administration was among those shot in a vicious carjacking spree in Washington, D.C., on Monday night, one that ended in police killing the perpetrator in Maryland early Tuesday morning.

Mike Gill is in a hospital in critical condition after being shot while picking up his wife, an education lawyer, blocks from the White House on K Street in downtown D.C. at 5:45pm.

“We can confirm that Mike Gill was the victim of the shooting at the 900 block of K Street Northwest on Monday evening and is in critical condition. Out of respect for the family, we have nothing additional to add at this time,” Erica Richardson, a spokesperson for the Gill family, said in a statement to The Daily Wire.

After shooting Gill, the same man is believed to have conducted at least two carjackings and one attempted carjacking, and the victim of one of them has died, The Washington Post reported.

It’s one of the nicer, safer commercial areas where all the lawyers and lobbyists work. Ominous sign that this happened on that part of town

I used to work very close to that intersection.

The streets of Tehran and Pyongyang are far more civilized.

K Street is as safe as it gets in DC. This was not in a sketchy area.

“Better to be tried by 12”

You won’t get a fair trial in DC. It would be an all-black, hate-whitey, racist jury happy to string you up. Doesn’t matter that the thug was a violent, murdering criminal. They would make him out to be the next St. Trayvon.

Just look at how Trump is being treated.

“Carroll added that the suspect had a minor criminal history in D.C. and Maryland at the time of the incident, he “may have been in some sort of a mental health crisis or having some mental health issues.”

Oh, so now he’s a victim ?
They are not posting his identity.

The car jacking was a hoax to cover the assassination attempt of a MAGA Trumper. It’s all about instilling fear and this is only the beginning, I surmise that we haven’t seen anything yet.

I agree that a trial in WDC would be problematic.

HST, the shooter would still be alive, and an appeal would probably result in a reversal!

All I am saying is that it is better to be alive than dead!

Mr. Gill was the first victim.

The perp thereafter engaged in a desperate and lengthy getaway sequence - avoiding public transportation, killing a driver of another vehicle, etc.

I don’t know if any area of DC is safe anymore…….we were staying at the Willard, 1-1/2 blocks from the White House, and my husband dashed over to the local Walgreens and was there when it was openly robbed…broad daylight
This was late 2020
I’m sure it’s much worse now

I have loved DC…..it has so much to offer……but until we get Trump in and crime is taken care of, I never want to go there
