Trump abruptly escorted from briefing after shooting near WH


(© Provided by Associated Press) President Donald Trump is asked to leave the James Brady Press Briefing Room by a member of the U.S. Secret Service during a news conference at the White House, Monday, Aug. 10, 2020.
“There was an actual shooting and somebody’s been taken to the hospital,” Trump said. The president said the shots were fired by law enforcement, saying he believed the individual who was shot was armed. “It was the suspect who was shot,” Trump said.

Trump said he was escorted to the Oval Office by the agent. The White House was placed on lockdown following the incident.
The shooting took place near 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue just blocks from the White House, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation who were not authorized to speak publicly about it. Law enforcement officials were still trying to determine the suspect's motive.

I would be interested to know why the President was removed from the premises when the shooting took place blocks from the WH. More of a threat than meets the eye? Better to err on the side of caution?

Comments, speculations anyone?

That is the job of the Secret Service, Trump has very little ability to question when they decide action is needed.

As for the shooting it is way too early to know what happened or why.

Where did you get the idea that Trump questioned the Secret Service's decision? I hadn't read that.

As to your bolded statement, this is why I am asking for speculations.
If we are lucky, the facts will come out later.

Why would we speculate without a single fact in our hands?
 
It was Joe Biden, the dog-faced pony soldier. He had a banana in his hand and was saying 'bang, bang, bang!'

Clearly so! :)
 
A bit of precaution, there's not much to the story yet, but it does seem that there was an officer involved shooting just outside the White House and that it was secured and handled well.

Trump says someone shot near White House - BBC News

The US Secret Service meanwhile tweeted: "The Secret Service can confirm there has been an officer involved shooting at 17th Street and Pennsylvania Ave.

"Law enforcement officials are on the scene. More information to follow."
 
Is trump out of the bunker yet?
 
This is only Monday........
 
I suspect since Trump is so hated they may tend to be overly cautious about protecting this President.

Probably so. Makes me wonder how many assassination attempts have been made on his life so far.
 
Democrats/ Communists are getting desperate... they know Biden is a zombie

'cause he couldn't find the real thing, 'you know the THING!'

Zero, since you ask.

Internet comments that prompted the Secret Service or the FBI to come around and have a chat with the good people of the USA? No telling how many that could be.

The Secret Service is very cautious even with Presidents that are liked or loved.

S.S. needs to worry about people with mental illnesses that may want to harm even a liked or loved President.

A hated President ups the possibility of more people potentially wanting to harm a President.

It is something to wonder about concerning this President since there were actors and some other out spoken haters that actually mentioned thinking about harming Trump.

The opposite of your moronic nonsense is that it was a set-up by SStephen Miller.
You've proven my comment was correct.
