U.S. Secret Service takes two men into custody in Washington's Georgetown neighborhood

More than a half dozen U.S. Secret Service officers on Thursday took two men into custody from a car in Washington's Georgetown neighborhood and removed what seemed to be an assault-style rifle from the vehicle, a Reuters witness said.

The two men were handcuffed and separated, according to the Reuters reporter who witnessed the incident. The witness said the officers also pulled what appeared to be body armor components from the car. The vehicle was a black four-door Ford sedan with Indiana plates that said Marine Corps Veteran.

One of the suspects wore tan pants and a black hoodie, while the other wore a camouflage-style jacket and a baseball cap, according to the witness and photographs from the scene.

The Secret Service, which protects U.S. political leaders and their families, did not immediately respond to a request for comment, while the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department referred questions to the Secret Service.

Based on how they are described as being dressed, I'd say they were magats regardless of who is funding them... Only a magat would wear camo on a murder rampage in Georgetown.

obvious runaround media get from law enforcement. Those guys will probably be let go with a wrist slap.

You know: Wear suits and ties, get haircuts, lose the facial hair, forego the camo coats, stash the assault rifles and body armor somewhere obscure.

No, I hope they keep making it easy for law enforcement.
