Washington DC shooting: video suggests ‘lone gunman’ shot two national guard members near White House, say Washington DC police – latest updates
Gunman ‘ambushed’ troops and both guardsmen are being treated for gunshot wounds, says assistant chief of DC’s Metropolitan police department
"In a social media post, Patrick Morrisey, the West Virginia governor, who had earlier said that both of members of the West Virginia National Guard had died in the shooting in Washington, said his office was receiving “conflicting reports about the condition of our two Guard members.”
National Guard Members Shot Near White House
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.www.nytimes.com
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.
The governor said his office would “provide additional updates once we receive more complete information.”

West Virginia governor now cites 'conflicting reports' about condition of two guard members shot near White House
West Virginia’s governor, Patrick Morrisey, appears to have retracted his earlier statement that two members of his state’s national guard died on Wednesday, after being shot in Washington DC.
“We are now receiving conflicting reports about the condition of our two Guard members and will provide additional updates once we receive more complete information,” Morrisey wrote on social media minutes ago. “Our prayers are with these brave service members, their families, and the entire Guard community.”

The suspect approached the guardsmen appearing to target them, firing first at one of the guardsmen who was mere feet away, according to three law enforcement sources.
One source said the suspect then fired at the other guardsman who tried to get behind a bus stop shelter.
The source said the suspect is not cooperating with investigators and had no identification on him at the time of his arrest.

So senseless.
WOW.
Its hard to believe a state governor would offer condolences and remembrances for these National Guardsmen and then have to back pedal. No wonder the media has lost so much functional integrity....Google it, long list of MSM are carrying articles from as recent as 12 minutes ago indicating their death, most quoting the Governor of West Virginia.
Just bizarre, IMO.

Watching the press conference right now and the FBI director referenced the victims as being in critical condition so let's hope that is accurate and neither have passed away.
I always wonder if when reports from the scanner mention 2 casualties, then do people think that means they died?
They also said the suspect was taken to a local hospital.

When it was his turn to speak, what Patel actually said was: “We will shortchange the American public with no resources to make sure we find and safeguard our nation’s capital, right here in Washington DC, and bring anyone responsible for this heinous act of violence to justice.”
Shortly after Patel spoke, Jeffery Carroll, assistant chief of Washington DC’s Metropolitan Police Department, said that “at this time, there is no indication that there was any other suspect. The one suspect that was involved in this incident, they were shot during the interaction and transported to the hospital for treatment.”
Patel was then asked by a reporter to clarify why he had pledged to bring “anyone responsible” for the shooting to justice. Carroll answered that video reviewed by the police of the shooting suggested that it appears to have been the work of “lone gunman”. Patel did not address the question.

Hoping they pull through.
The Governor posting that is absolutely disgraceful - surely he should be getting information from an official source prior to posting on social media.
