I’m hearing the suspect was shot in the stomach by the Secret Service after pulling a gun.

Not yet, but they are now going over all the security lapses at the White House that have occurred during this administration. Haven’t gotten to the guy with the mailman who flew in with the lawnmower engine powered hochimajiggie yet.

Apparently the suspect approached the West Gate with a weapon in hand, was told to drop it, didn’t, was shot in the stomach and transported to the hospital.

Maybe that’s why this happened. Gotta get those nuts out there, shootin’ up the place so martial law can be enacted before the election, unless a democrat has somehow managed to get thousands of illegal voters to help.

Seems right. I don’t know how drunk a person would have to be to think that doing something like that is a good idea.

So they can take an armed shooter, but they have to blow away a female dental assistant and her baby.

Such bravery.
