Police Say They Can't Substantiate Tim Pool's Report of Shots at West Virginia Home

Deputies cite denied access to security video as the reason the report remains unverified.

Overview

  • Tim Pool wrote on X that a passing vehicle opened fire near his Harpers Ferry–area property and said no one was hurt.
  • A man identifying himself as Pool’s security guard reported the incident after observing a gray sedan circle the property multiple times, and deputies responded and cleared the call.
  • The Berkeley County Sheriff's Office says it requested the property's video footage but was refused, leaving the report of gunfire uncorroborated.
  • Pool says releasing the video would compromise security and has invited TMZ to view the footage in person at his home.
  • Coverage highlights polarized online reaction to Pool’s claim, notes his political positioning and past scrutiny, and includes his assertion that the FBI considers him a victim in this matter.
