Trump Evacuated From Press Briefing Due To Shooting Outside The White House by Nobody: 11:51pm On Aug 10, 2020
President Donald Trump was escorted from his daily coronavirus news briefing at the White House on Monday, later saying a shooting had occurred just outside the White House.

Just as the president was delivering his opening remarks to his usual briefing, a Secret Service agent approached the president and told him to leave the briefing room. Trump unhurriedly followed the agent out, and the White House quickly shut down its live stream of the briefing.

Just a few minutes later, Trump returned to the briefing room, saying there had been a shooting outside the White House. The president said the Secret Service shot someone who was then taken to a hospital. Trump didn't have any details on the shooting except that the person was armed.

"There was a shooting outside of the White House and it seems to be very well under control," he said. "I'd like to thank the Secret Service for doing their always quick and very effective work."

Trump said he was taken to the Oval Office and that he had high confidence in the Secret Service. He appeared unfazed on returning to the briefing room and said he wasn't perturbed by the episode.

"Do I look rattled?" Trump replied to a reporter’s question.

Ever since protests started springing up in front of the White House earlier this summer, Secret Service agents have constructed heavy barriers around the White House grounds. The building, which is normally easily within view from multiple points open to the public, is now surrounded by layers of fencing and walls.

When asked whether he felt concerned that someone could engage in a gunfight so close to the White House in spite of the barriers, Trump said the episode was “relatively far away“ and dismissed the notion that the person had breached anything.

The Secret Service did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

How is this possible in US, a perfect country in the brain of potors? And under the watch of potor god Donald Trump?

Or is the report by any chance confusing Aso Rock for White House? I disagree with this report. It is Buhari that was evacuated due to shootings outside Aso Rock, not Donald Trump. angry

Wow!!
Thank God for his life.

More details on the shooting.......

[b]The Secret Service tweeted Monday night that the male subject and the officer were transported to a local hospital. "At no time during this incident was the White House complex breached or were any protectees in danger," the agency said.

The District of Columbia fire department said the suspect suffered serious or possibly critical injuries. Authorities were investigating whether he has a history of mental illness.

A coronavirus press briefing was interrupted when a Secret Service agent abruptly ushered President Donald Trump offstage.
When Trump returned to the press briefing, he confirmed that a person had been shot outside of the White House.

Trump returned minutes after being escorted from the briefing, saying there was a "shooting" outside the White House that was "under control."

“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.

Trump praised the work of Secret Service personnel for their work in keeping him safe.
Asked if he was shaken by the incident, Trump asked reporters: “I don’t know. Do I seem rattled?”[/b]



A cat with 9 lives, just like our darling Daddy.
But, he should avoid statements like this henceforth, this was made few days ago....

"Looting leads to shooting, and that’s why a man was shot and killed in Minneapolis on Wednesday night.

It was spoken as a fact, not as a statement. It’s very simple, nobody should have any problem with this other than the haters, and those looking to cause trouble on social media. Honor the memory of George Floyd!”


He should be very careful with words such as the above.
'Some' Americans are angry.

Donald should fortify his security and watch his mouth henceforth.

Same way Buhari is hated?
I thought shootings in Presidential Villas is an exclusive reserved for Aso rock?
Same way 'Bubu' is hated by criminals, looters, swines and thieves.

And love unconditionally by over 15 million sane, honest and hardworking Nigerians that voted for him.

Shooting outside White House? With all their intelligence?

The bible clearly said
"...when you see these things, know that the time is near"

If you love yourself, better Repent and give your life to Christ. The time is nearer than you think.
