"We need some expertise here. A lot of speculation can go several different ways right now. This happened in our nation's capital. It happened near the White House. It seems to be very brash and bold kind of an attack of some sort. We don't know anything about motive. But tell us about going into a holiday, the type of intelligence we're gathering, what we're seeing, Jones began, introducing Sexton a former CIA and NYPD officer."
"I'm formerly the CIA, but I also spent time in the Counterterrorism Bureau with Paul Morrow, actually. He was one of my senior officers at the time, handling domestic terrorism incidents. And I think that's particularly valuable experience in this moment, because this is clearly some form of targeted political attack, a terrorist attack. I mean, I would say the certainty on this is 95, maybe 99 percent."
Two National Guard members were shot near the White House and are hospitalized in critical condition but reportedly still fighting for their lives. Law enforcement and Pentagon sources are not publicly confirming details, and a West Virginia governor retracted an earlier post. Intelligence activity is heightened ahead of the holiday, producing numerous tips that require filtering for veracity. A former CIA and NYPD officer with counterterrorism experience characterized the incident as likely a targeted political or terrorist attack, estimating 95–99% certainty based on the victims' clear National Guard identification. Motive remains unknown.
