Here's what we know about the shooting near the White House: Two people were wounded, including a possible suspect, in a shooting outside the White House at 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW near the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, law enforcement sources told CBS News. Approximately 15 to 30 gunshots were fired, the sources said. Two other sources familiar with the matter told CBS News that a suspect opened fire on a security booth where U.S. Secret Service officers were stationed inside, and officers returned fire. The sources said the suspect and a bystander were wounded, but no agents were injured. Multiple CBS News reporters who were on the White House North Lawn said they heard what sounded like gunfire at around 6 p.m. ET before U.S. Secret Service ushered them inside. A White House lockdown was lifted just before 7 p.m. President Trump was at the White House as of 4 p.m., White House spokesperson Steven Cheung had said earlier. It was unclear if he was at the White House when the shooting occurred.

Is this what the commies mean by getting ‘the message out’?
What liberal gender confused POS did this one?
Hakeem’s flying monkeys..............
Shooter is dead. Thankfully.
They ain’t sayin’.............
Amazing that the SS do not shoot to kill.
Damn, I was waiting for a mugshot!...................
Apparently they did this time............
Black guy with dreads. He was well known to the feds.
Suspect dead, bystander wounded in an encounter with Secret Service near White House
One of Hakeem’s maximum warfare potheads?
I don’t think I’ve seen a news story before with seven authors.
😁................
Kriminal ist tod.
What do these people hope to accomplish? Even if they get past the security booth, there are multiple layers of security so they aren’t going to get far. Death of the perp is the usual and most likely outcome.
Testing the security response? Suicide by cop? Notoriety? Super Hero syndrome?
Another one... “On the radar”?
Shooter is dead. Thankfully.
It must be exhausting to look for conspiracies around every corner.
