Trump administration orders 500 more National Guard troops to DC after shooting of soldiers

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two West Virginia National Guard members who deployed to the nation’s capital were shot Wednesday just blocks from the White House in a brazen act of violence.

FBI Director Kash Patel and Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said the Guard members were hospitalized in critical condition. Bowser said they were victims of a ”targeted shooting.”

West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey initially said the troops had died, but later walked back the statement to say his office was “receiving conflicting reports" about their condition. The governor’s office did not immediately respond to questions about the attack and the condition of the troops.

A suspect who was in custody also was shot and had wounds that were not believed to be life-threatening, according to a law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

1. depressing

i hate this so much obviously because innocent people got shot, but secondly because drumpf has been using the national guard as bait because this is EXACTLY what they want to happen. They WANT our guardspersons being shot so they have excuse after excuse after excuse to further invade out cities, and use the presence of more troops to hope MORE violent people come out and cause MORE violent attacks. It is a horrific feedback loop designed to eventually end up with the insurrection act being implemented. Target for that will be sometime in september/october next year before the midterms.

2. So 500 more soldiers will prevent other soldiers from being ambushed by guys with handguns?

6. After the fact barn door closing.

If this was planned by a group, shouldn't the FBI have that group on their radar now?
If it was a lone actor, the threat is probably over.

Worse thought - they're planning on turning the military against civilians by turning DC into a Mass Casualty event before Xmas.
