WASHINGTON (7News) — A man is injured after a shooting involving a U.S. Secret Service agent in Southwest DC, not far from the Washington Monument, according to the U.S. Secret Service and Metropolitan Police Department (MPD).
According to the Secret Service, plainclothes agents spotted a man near the White House carrying a firearm. Agents then went to make contact with the man, but he took off running.
During the chase, investigators said the man opened fire on the Secret Service officers who then returned fire. The man was taken to the hospital, but officials did not provide details on his condition. A child in the area was also hit during the gunfire, but is expected to be OK.

It’s still early, so I don’t know how all of this goes together.
Another attempt to kill our President?
At least they managed to get a bullet into the bad guy this time around. Good shooting ended that guy in Pennsylvania quickly.
Poor kid. Has to depend upon the degenerate, declining adults to make a safe environment. Don't tell me the 50s and 60s weren't the good old days to be a kid. 2026 teacher to elementary school children: "This is a fentanyl packet."
JD Vance’s motorcade was in the area, more likely him.
You’re probably right.
Good thing DC is a gun free zone.
Oh, wait. Only for good guys. Bad guys have carte blanche.
Would the average nutjob know the difference between a motorcade for the VP versus the POTUS?
If he was first seen near the White House with a firearm, maybe he was hoping he would see President Trump outdoors.
“A man is injured after a shooting involving a U.S. Secret Service agent in Southwest DC.”
“a man near the White House carrying a firearm. Agents then went to make contact with the man, but he took off running.”
“During the chase, investigators said the man opened fire on the Secret Service officers who then returned fire. The man was taken to the hospital.”

At least they identified the suspect as ‘a man’.

What the heck is wrong with the Secret Service that they cannot connect with firearm to target?
Can the SS possibly do some range training? Maybe learn and practice? IPSC? USPSA?
Jeff Cooper must be rolling over.
Yes, especially if the nutjob lives in DC and sees motorcades often. The VP's limo carries the US flag and VP's flag on the two front fenders.
I think the psycho at the press dinner would have.
Yeah....real wizards they are with that name change 😂
Range training is mostly with stationary targets and shooters maintaining a “stance”.

In the 50s and 60s this could rightly be called a civilized country. The Democrats transformed it into an UNCIVILIZED country by the skillful indoctrination of countless thousands of easily misled voters.
Never in the history of the USA has the Democratic party become so violent. Its morphing into some kind of terror party. Something needs to be done to domesticate these feral animals before there’s another civil war.
"Did you hear that the Washington Bullets are going to change their name because people don't like the association with crime and violence? From now on, they are simply going to be known as The Bullets."
“Range training is mostly with stationary targets and shooters maintaining a “stance”.”
Thus my suggestion.
