The White House shooter was arrested, and the US president has requested the immediate deployment of 500 soldiers to the District of Columbia!
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Wednesday that after two National Guard members were shot, the president had requested the deployment of 500 National Guard soldiers to Washington, D.C.
The FBI is conducting an investigation on site, and the initial suspicion is that the shooter's target was the National Guard soldiers patrolling the neighborhood. The suspect approached one of the guards within a few feet and then shot him, followed by shooting another soldier who was trying to hide behind a bus stop shelter. Both soldiers were seriously injured.
The arriving guards engaged in a firefight with the shooter, who was hit by bullets and arrested, then carried away on a stretcher. The suspect did not cooperate with the investigators, and had no identification on his person at the time of arrest.
