Secret Service guns down armed man outside White House

The White House was briefly locked down after a shooting occurred nearby. President Obama was not on the grounds at the time of the shooting, but security quickly mobilized after the gunshots went off. Chip Reid reports.

S.S shot once, while CBS says "Guns down."

[OlogynyOfficial]

“Gunned down” means the person died. The title is very misleading. Smh.

[icleggyi]

"gunned down"
"the suspect was shot one time"

[walx]

no one mentioning how the president was Golfing at a military base


Like wtf haha

[chanr]

“Gunned down” is defiantly not the right word, secret service shot until the threat was ended which was one shot

[planarian]

Objective: get as close as you could to the White House

Difficulty: Very Hard

Reward: you'd appear on news around the country.

[jcolin]

The fact that people think they can get anywhere near the entrance to this building.

It's not secret anymore if the agent wearing vest with "secret service" emblem in his chest

Title: Secret Service Guns Down Armed Man

The Video: “An armed Secret Service officer shot the man with a single bullet”

[ZantherStone]

Interesting how they were calm enough to just shoot once.

[adamr]

“Armed man is shot and taken into custody outside of White House” or “by secret service” would be a better title than “gunned down” when he was only shot once and later arrested.

[davidb]

What he Expected: death by cop suicide
What he got: the biggest bill of his life.

[garyjohnson]

Secret Service: Shot once
Police: Shot 40 rounds

[Halozocker]

"Guns down armed man"
1 round was fired... but hey.. you gotta get them views somehow..

[danielkim]

Everyone: Where is the President?
Secret Service: Golfing in our base.

[tarekstone]

These criminals should feel blessed they are still alive. They should give thanks to the Secret service for doing a commendable job and have a second chance at life. Great job secret service.

[dodgefreak]

I thought that was a gun free zone? lmao

[SevenDeMagnus]

Prayers, may they have self-control.
God bless.

[saradale]

Thank goodness for the officers on duties. Thanks for law enforcement officers. Support them strongly to service the USA citizens.
