    The odd shooting incident which temporarily interrupted Trumps news conference yesterday is now under investigation. The incident was evidently started by a white male who approached a uniformed Secret Service guard about a block from the White House yelling,"I'm going to kill you. I'm going to shoot you." Then allegedly making a motion like he was grabbing something from a pocket and crouching as if to shoot. The agent grabbed his weapon and shot the man, who it turns out was not armed?? The white male is identified as Myron Berryman age 51 presently of Wheeling W. Virginia, with family in his former residence in Dayton, Ohio. He is currently in the hospital in critical condition. The yet unidentified agent was also treated for some sort of minor injury.

    The video that was released minutes after the incident showed a YOUNG male walking past a Secret Service police car holding a weapon. He was shot by someone (not in view at the time) and was immediately surrounded by officers of which the first one kicked away his weapon.

    It is difficult to believe "they" would try to spin this into something else because the recordings are already posted everywhere. There clearly is more to this story.

    The shot man is 51 years old, not exactly a young man, and he was not carrying a weapon.

    I call it the fog of news. It is often wrong when first reported. Let's wait a while.

    Which is why I mentioned there is a clear discrepancy in what was reported yesterday and your post.

    Berryman is described by those who know him as, "a man of God".

    Sounds like an attempted suicide by cop.

    The entire incident is very strange.

    Here's the video that was released yesterday. In fairness, the man *might* be in his 50s but there is obviously a weapon in this recording.



    The man drops it after he is shot and an officer kicks it away from the guy and another officer stands on it while standing guard over the man.

    I believe you have picture of the wrong incident, those uniforms do not look like secret service uniforms.

    That is the video that was posted yesterday when it was announced that the POTUS was interrupted for several minutes. I didn't upload the video or start the thread about it. I linked to the thread in which it was mentioned yesterday.

    I really don't know what to say but every account of the incident today says the man was unarmed.

    I'm also at a loss because of the information that was reported yesterday. I never understood why the POTUS was only interrupted for a few minutes or why he said an armed person was shot by the Secret Service right after he reentered the room. None of it adds up.

    The location they show today where the shooting took place which has crime scene tape cordoning it off looks nothing like your pictures location.

    It has been stated that video is of a 2016 incident.

    I don't mean to sound rude but I've already mentioned that it's not my post or photos. They were posted in the thread I linked to earlier. I am perplexed about the whole thing.

    Coincidently, a similar man in Russia was killed after allegedly threatening the Ukrainian President

    That results from reading left leaning media.

    Armed or not you pretend to pull a gun and threaten to shoot a guy carrying a gun, your chances of being shot increase about 9000 percent. Even men of God occasionally go off their rocker.

    Pretending to be armed is as good as being armed in this sort of situation. Chances can not be taken.

    They are still trying to figure out what motivated the guy to behave the way he did.

    So what? If you walk up to someone armed and act like you are armed you get what you get.
