Breaking: Guard under fire near the White House
Today, chaos erupted in Washington, D.C., when “at least two members of the United States National
Guard were shot just blocks from the White House.”
The incident occurred near 17th and I Street NW,
a normally busy area, and emergency vehicles and a helicopter responded swiftly.
Authorities say a suspect, described as a “person of interest,” was taken into custody,
though officials have been cautious, and “local authorities have declined to immediately confirm that National Guard members were among the wounded.”
Details about motive, weapons, and the victims’ conditions remain unclear.
The shooting raises serious concerns about security in the capital.
“The presence of heavily armed National Guard soldiers was supposed to increase security — yet this incident exposes a vulnerability.”
The public, authorities, and lawmakers are closely watching for updates on the Guard members’ status, the suspect, and possible policy changes.
