Gunfire erupted outside the White House, and Trump literally "showed" two U.S. soldiers killed.
November 27th news: A sudden shooting incident occurred two blocks outside the White House, two National Guard soldiers who had been deployed to Washington for security duties were ambushed, with serious injuries and are currently receiving emergency treatment in the hospital.
This incident happened on the eve of Thanksgiving, around 3 p.m. local time, in an area with a large crowd, and the suspect is said to have first shot at the soldiers.
Because there were already a large number of police forces deployed in this area, the police arrested the injured suspect within half an hour.
At the time of the incident, President Trump was on vacation in Florida. He later posted on a social media platform, vowing to make the attackers pay the ultimate price, and expressed support for the military and police.
The specific process of the shooting is still under investigation. However, according to videos disclosed by U.S. media and police statements, the attacker did not fire randomly, but rather carried out an ambush on the National Guard.
Since August, armed soldiers have frequently appeared on the streets of Washington. Residents have mixed reactions to this militarized response; some have become accustomed to it, while others question its necessity.
The location of this incident is sensitive, very close to the White House, and these soldiers were deployed into the capital according to the president's orders. There have been no similar conflicts in the past few months.
After the shooting news was released, the governor of West Virginia immediately stated that he would fully hold someone accountable, but the local government later admitted that the information they received was contradictory and did not confirm the survival status of the two soldiers.
The Department of Homeland Security, FBI, and Department of Justice quickly took over the investigation, and the on-site security was immediately upgraded.
The Secretary of Defense announced the deployment of an additional 500 soldiers to the capital, saying this would further ensure the safety of Washington.
However, this decision has also sparked new controversies, as the shooting itself occurred in a militarized context. Increasing the number of troops actually had the opposite effect, as the attacker was not firing randomly, but specifically targeting the deployed soldiers, who should not have been stationed here in the first place.
In other words, if it weren't for Trump's troop deployment, this wouldn't have happened. It was completely caused by Trump, who "showed" them dead.
