Overview
- Two U.S. National Guard members were shot near 17th and I/H Streets NW in Washington, D.C., a few blocks from the White House, and a wounded suspect was taken into custody.
- Federal and local agencies, including the FBI, DHS, MPD, Secret Service and ATF, are investigating, and officials cautioned that the Guard members’ condition remains unclear after a governor retracted an initial claim of their deaths.
- The White House said President Donald Trump was briefed, and he condemned the attack as authorities secured the area and transported three gunshot victims to hospitals.
- The Guard members are part of a contingent deployed to the capital by presidential order, a presence that has faced legal challenges and public debate over its scope and legality.
- In Mexico’s Altiplano, Zacatecas authorities reported finding seven executed bodies near the San Luis Potosí border, detained four alleged San Luis Potosí Guardia Civil officers, and seized an AK‑47, while San Luis Potosí officials denied wrongdoing and said their agents were answering a citizen report.
