2. New details emerge about White House contractor arrested for attempted murder

Martese Edwards appeared in a Washington, D.C., courtroom Wednesday and did not fight extradition to Maryland on a charge of attempted murder.

The Secret Service didn't provide much information about Edwards. He's charged with shooting the boyfriend of his ex-girlfriend on May 3 in Prince George's County, Maryland, some 9 miles from the White House. Two weeks later, on May 17, police entered an arrest warrant into a national crime information database, launching a search.

3. Well...

One expects that he's going to be sent to Maryland for arraignment.

He apparently took a shot at his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend. People do that sort of thing.

He's charged with shooting the boyfriend of his ex-girlfriend on May 3 in Prince George's County, Maryland, some 9 miles from the White House. Two weeks later, on May 17, police entered an arrest warrant into a national crime information database, launching a search.

Unless his girlfriend had another boyfriend working at the White House, then it's not as if he was going to be running around the hallways shooting anyone. But the Secret Service noticed the warrant on June 4, and I guess the question is why they aren't running everyone's names through the relevant database every day:


That database is available to all law enforcement agencies, but the Secret Service says it didn't become aware of the warrant until June 4. Maryland officials say the warrant was updated that day with new information.
