    You know no one wants to say "I knew we were heading this way.", but we all knew this was the direction all of this was headed.
    I'm waiting for someone to take a shot at a talking head next.

    Any updates on what really happened? I saw a video of the guy walking forward with a gun, then getting shot, but nothing about the USSS Agent that got shot. Or, who this suspect is and what the deal was? Basket case? Agenda? Angry? All of the above.. ??

    The video I saw was different than this narrative:
    "The Secret Service provided details of the shooting in a tweet late Monday.

    A 51-year-old male allegedly approached a Uniformed Division officer who was standing at his post on the corner of 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue near the White House. The man told the agent he had a weapon and, while he approached, took off in a sprint and "in a drawing motion, withdrew an object from his clothing," the statement read.

    "The suspect then crouched into a shooter's stance as if about to fire a weapon," the statement read. At that point, the agent fired his weapon and struck the subject in the torso."

    All that sprinting must have happened off video?

    The video is from a June 2016 shooting.

    Yeah I saw a ton of people posting this yesterday trying to pass it off as the recent shooter.

    Good to know his weapon was the "Word of God" Probably a great guy just running from a bee or something and got shot...
