It appears that at approximately 2:10 p.m. (1810 GMT) there was an accidental discharge of a service issued weapon, which occurred inside the Southwest Gate at a security post near the White House," Blackford said.

Guns dont fire accidentally without help. Somebody was dicking around with his weapon.

All I know is that when I was in DC walking by the WH late evening, the man I saw protecting the grounds was a babe. Yowsa! What a bod! Also in FL, pre-election ‘04, a rally for W, the SS men were hot! I would not mess with them (if I was a bad guy, that is.)

The President needs another Secret Service to protect him from this Secret Service; perhaps we could call it the Double Secret Service.

Occasionally, they shoot one another just to let the public know that they really do carry bullets in their guns.
