6 days agoMayor: D.C. shooting suspect drove cross-country to "attack America"
A 29-year-old Afghan national who previously worked with the CIA allegedly opened fire near the White House; he was shot and is hospitalized.
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.
A man was arrested late Tuesday night after crashing his vehicle into a security barrier outside the White House, prompting a swift lockdown and bomb squad response. The U.S. Secret Service confirmed that at approximately 10.37 p.m., an individual drove a vehicle into the Secret Service vehicle gate located at 17th & E St, NW, in Washington, DC. The individual was arrested and the vehicle was assessed and deemed safe, the agency added.
