2 subject ward members died in a shot nigh the White House's perimeter in Washington DC on Wednesday afternoon. The White House was placed on lockdown, and the city has been placed under a massive security cover. Amid that, concerns surfaced for President Trump and if his security was in anyway compromised.
However, President Donald Trump is not in DC today, i.e. Wednesday. He is at Mar-a-Lago, his residence-cum-resort in Palm Beach Florida.
The President, however, reacted to the shooting, confirming that the two National Guardsmen were critically injured in the shooting, while the suspect, now in custody, was also injured while being apprehended.
"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," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
As of now, the suspect has not been identified.
President Donald Trump's schedule for Wednesday will see him spend most of the morning and afternoon in Mar-a-Lago. He is slated to return to DC in the afternoon. Trump's schedule for Wednesday states that he and First Lady Melania Trump will arrive at the White House at 5:50 p.m. Wednesday.
As of now, a change in the President's schedule has not been announced.
