A shooting near the White House on Wednesday has raised questions about the role of President Donald Trump's National Guard deployment in the incident. Two members of the DC National Guard were shot while performing high-visibility patrols around 2:15 PM ET. The suspect, who has not been identified, targeted the guardsmen and was later subdued by them. According to eyewitness accounts, the suspect did not cooperate with investigators and had no identification on him at the time of his arrest. However, authorities are close to identifying the individual, with officials citing progress in the investigation. Civil rights leader Al Sharpton has come out strongly against the president's policies, including the deployment of the National Guard. 'Two people that are fighting for their lives, guardsmen that this President put there,' he said, appearing to blame Trump for the shooting. The incident has sparked debate about the role of the National Guard in US cities, particularly in the context of controversy surrounding ICE deployments. Trump has ordered 500 additional National Guard troops to be sent to Washington, DC, sparking further criticism. As the investigation continues, officials are working to determine the motives behind the shooting and whether it is linked to the president's policies. The incident serves as a grim reminder of the risks faced by law enforcement officers and the need for effective communication and community engagement.
