Vašington, 23. maja — Muškarac koji je u subotu uveče pucao na kontrolnu tačku blizu Bele kuće pogođen je vatrom pripadnika Tajne službe i kasnije je preminuo u bolnici, saopštila je agencija i Reuters.
Prema izjavi Tajne službe prosleđenoj Reutersu, napadač je prišao kontrolnoj tački na raskrsnici 17th Street i Pennsylvania Avenue, izvadio pištolj iz torbe i započeo paljbu prema službenicima. Časnici su uzvratili vatrom i pogodili osumnjičenog.
U saopštenju se navodi da je jedan prolaznik pogođen, ali nije precizirano koliko je ozbiljno povređen. Druga izjava Tajne službe, koju su preneli brojni mediji, navodi da nije jasno da li je prolaznik pogođen kada je napadač počeo da puca ili tokom uzajamne razmene vatre.
Zvaničnik za sprovođenje zakona rekao je za Reuters da je osumnjičeni identifikovan kao osoba sa emocionalnim poteškoćama i da mu je ranije izrečena zabrana prilaska određenim lokacijama ("stay-away order"). Tajna služba je navela da nijedan pripadnik organa reda nije povređen.
Predsednik Donald Trump bio je u Beloj kući u vreme incidenta, saopštila je agencija. Događaj se dešava gotovo mesec dana nakon što je naoružani muškarac pucao u hotelu gde je održavan događaj White House Correspondents' Association, što je dovelo do evakuacije zvaničnika.
