just heard about the shooting near the white house and my mind is blown, two us national guard members got shot and one suspect was caught like what even is going on? 
i mean we gotta know more about this motive behind it, was it some kinda terrorist attack or just someone who lost it? 
anyway, glad those guardsmen are alive tho, that's all that matters for now 
hope they get the help they need soon.
Just heard about the shooting incident near the White House and I'm trying to get the facts straight... so far, it's a bit sketchy 
. No random acts of violence here, apparently. But how did authorities contain the situation so quickly? And what about those motives behind the attack? We're still waiting on more info 
. I'm keeping an eye on this story and will update once I get some concrete facts 
.
. And let's be real, this is just one block away from the White House. Who exactly was targeted in this shooting? Was it a random act of violence or part of some bigger plan? We need to get to the bottom of this and find out what really happened.
I'M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT THESE KIND OF INCIDENTS HAPPENING NEAR THE WHITE HOUSE!!! IT'S SO SCARY TO THINK THAT SOMEONE COULD TRY TO ATTACK THE PRESIDENT OR THE SYSTEM LIKE THIS!!! 
IT'S NOT LIKE THEY DID ANYTHING WRONG, THEY'RE JUST DOING THEIR JOB AND WEARING THEIR ARMOR LIKE NORMAL. I'M SURE THE Feds are WORKING DAY AND NIGHT TO figure out WHO THIS GUY IS AND WHY HE DID IT, BUT IT'S GOING TO TAKE TIME, RIGHT? 
... Two injured already and it's only been a day since we've seen some crazy stuff in DC 
And now they're saying it was targeted? What does that even mean? Are we living in some kind of thriller movie or something? 
The FBI is on it, but I'm not holding my breath for answers anytime soon 
. Lockdown around the White House? That's just a recipe for more paranoia... Can't they just have a peaceful protest or two without this drama? 
the fact that someone could even try to hurt them is just so disturbing... I mean, what's going on in this person's head? 
. One of my friends is actually taking a semester abroad in DC and they're already freaking out thinking about it 
. It's good that the National Guard was there to help, though 
. And that one suspect being taken into custody is a big relief 
. I just hope whoever did this gets the justice they deserve 
. Can't wait for more info to come out and figure out what happened 
and I'm like totally shook 
! Can you even imagine being that close to the presidential residence 
and the victims are receiving treatment 
. It's crazy how quickly authorities contained the situation 
. Fingers crossed the motive behind this attack gets revealed soon 
. Hope everything goes back to normal soon 
two national guard members getting shot just one block from the white house is insane! 
. I mean, who tries to shoot people right outside the President's house?! It's gotta be more than just a random act of violence... there's gotta be a reason behind this 
i mean, seriously though, two US National Guard members injured in a shooting incident... it's crazy how quickly things can turn sour. and now they're working to figure out what triggered this "targeted" attack... hopefully it wasn't just some lone wolf with a grudge against, you know, life 
and I'm still trying to process it 
It's clear that security measures are in place, but it's still shocking when these incidents occur.
. They're working to determine the motives behind the attack, and I hope they get to the bottom of it soon!
. I'm so worried for those two guys and their families, how are they going to be okay after this?!
