Trump abruptly escorted out of White House press briefing, returns to say there was a 'shooting' outside

Quote
...
Several minutes after initially taking the podium, someone – who appeared to be a Secret Service agent – told the president shots had been fired outside before Trump stopped and walked out of the room.
...
After returning to the podium, Trump said a shooting took place outside the premises of the White House near the fence. He said more information would be released later.

The president said he was not taken to the White House bunker, but was rather ushered to the Oval Office.

Initial reports from POTUS suggested that the Secret Service was involved in the shooting and the victim is a civilian taken to local hospital.

He didn't have much more to say about it other than to heap praise upon the Department and his Detail.

17th & Pennsylvania Avenue NW is definitely within earshot of the North Lawn (front lawn) to here firearms discharge.  Thus the security.

We could put some tinfoil on...after all, POTUS did suggest that we were going to see less of him, etc..

Maybe they knew something was planned and had it under control?

He said he had lots of enemies. I think that's an understatement given the climate of the country these days.  He isn't exactly popular with the DEMS and other liberal mental midgets and subversives and the only thing the Chuckie and Nancy and the rest of the gang have done is create unnecessary dissension.  I take issue at times with President Trump, but I absolutely believe this country would suffer a tremendous loss if something were to happen to him.

Continued prayers up for President Trump and his family.  God Bless and protect them all!

Here’s this blue-collar billionaire who could be doing anything else in life, who was popular in Hollywood entertainment, in all the elite clubs and he decides to risk his life to be a leader of the American people.

Let that sink in.

And when it sunk in with me, I couldn’t stop thinking this man is sacrificing his rich and peaceful life and risking his life to be our President.

Doesn't really say whether the perp made a threat to Trump or whether he was some bozo who hates law enforcement. 

Also, the report contained in the Daily Caller doesn't say whether the guy drew a weapon; yet it says both he and the Secret Service officer were taken to hospitals.  So was there a weapon or wasn't there?  If there was no weapon, how did the officer become injured. 

I don't know if this statement was just poorly written or is someone hiding something.  Sheesh!   When will the government ever be straight with us?

To me it sounds like someone that wanted suicide by cop.

That's my take from reading this:

Shooting near White House that interrupted Trump briefing is under Secret Service review; no gun found on suspect

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/08/11/shooting-near-white-house-under-review-suspect-did-not-have-gun/3342734001/

Quote
Shortly before 6 p.m., a law enforcement official said, Myron Berryman of District Heights, Maryland,  approached a uniformed Secret Service officer standing at his post about a block from the White House grounds and told the officer that he had a weapon and intended to use it.

"The suspect then turned around, ran aggressively towards the officer, and in a drawing motion, withdrew an object from his clothing," the Secret Service said in an earlier statement. "He then crouched into a shooter’s stance as if about to fire a weapon."

Berryman was shot twice in the torso, according to the law enforcement official who was not authorized to comment publicly. No firearm was found on Berryman, who was listed in stable condition Tuesday. The official did not identify the item that Berryman pulled from his clothing.

Again, so if this idiot didn't have a weapon, what happened to the Secret Service agent who also went to the hospital? 

From the USA Today article:

Quote
The Secret Service officer, who was not immediately identified, also was transported to a local hospital. He was not injured, but was evaluated by medical authorities before being released.

What?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
