Officials called the shooting a targeted attack by a man from Afghanistan who entered the U.S. in 2021. President Trump vowed to redouble the government’s efforts to deport migrants.

Tim Moye, 48, was headed up K Street to a shop when he heard five shots ring out. He said, “I knew right away it was shooting. I live in Albany, Ga., and we hear that all the time.”

Moye said he was in town for Thanksgiving, and visiting his son who works in the White House. “I just saw a bunch of people start running as soon as those shots came,” he said.

Just in as I was reading:

"
President Trump, who is Palm Beach, Fla., for the Thanksgiving holiday, just posted on social media about the shooting in Washington.

“The animal that shot the two National Guardsmen, with both being critically wounded, and now in two separate hospitals, is also severely wounded, but regardless, will pay a very steep price,” he wrote. “God bless our Great National Guard, and all of our Military and Law Enforcement. These are truly Great People. I, as President of the United States, and everyone associated with the Office of the Presidency, am with you!”

Evidence markers could be seen in a large cordoned off area around the Farragut West Metro Station, located at the corner of 17th Street NW and I Street NW, a few blocks from the White House.

I don't even know what to say. I am glad the scum who shot our servicemembers is apprehended. I hope they both survive, but this doesn't sound good.

John Miller on CNN:

Still investigating if the National Guard members were targeted, or if they were shot because they engaged the gunman who was targeting someone else (my sense is the former).

Talking about how many security cameras will have captured this.

If Guardsmen were targeted, that would be a Federal crime with the FBI likely assuming the lead.

"Multiple National Guard soldiers have been shot near the White House,
sparking a security lockdown at the president's residence.

Early reports suggest
the shooter is in custody
after multiple people were shot down the street from the White House in the center of DC."
